Oscillating between figure, landscape, and abstraction, Eyes Wide Shut (2001) evinces Cecily Brown’s unparalleled ability to seemingly transform paint into flesh, seductively embedding the human form within a frenzied fragmented commentary on desire, life, and death. Painted in 2001, Eyes Wide Shut marks a critical breakthrough for Brown, fully articulating the erotically charged figural abstractions that characterize the artist’s work. The present work is a fusion of bodily tones in continual flux, alive with the erotic energy of Brown’s vivid color and carnal application, shifting restlessly between abstract and figurative modes.

Senior International Specialist of Contemporary Art Michael Macaulay examines three distinct works from French painter Jean Debuffet. The first work, being Debuffet’s Scène dans un paysage de rochers, ou Trois malandrins dans les rochers (1946), challenges a common trope of art history within portait paintings, where instead of depicting the upper class, Jean here depicts a group of bandits with the use of a rocky texture made up of asphalt, oil, and plaster among other materials. Chamelier (1948), inspired by the artist’s trips to Southern Algeria, displays themes of memory and the expressive possibilities of paint itself. The third painting, Épisode (1967), a part of Debuffet’s iconic L’Hourloupe series, invokes chaos between absraction and figuration in a seemingly jubilant manner. This painting is a defining work for Jean Debuffet’s lasting legacy on twentieth century art.
