RECEPTION FOR THE ARTIST

Born in Belgium to a musical family, Cecile Brunswick has been making art in various forms for most of her life: music, film, video and photography. These forms, combined with a love for travel and an interest in people and cultures around the world, have influenced her work as a painter.
Brunswick’s abstract compositions contain rhythms that flow around the entire canvas with shapes and colors chosen to afford the viewer an opportunity to rest here and there as well. In some works, lively gestures seem to be caught in the moment as if they had independent existences prior to the painting, and have gone on living beyond, and the painting preserved a single instant of their lives. In other works, the gestures become more significant, almost to the point of becoming the subject of the painting, as if they were sitting for their portrait.
This exhibit features some of her oil on canvas abstract landscapes and a collection of works inspired by layers of visual information built-up, torn down and revealed within the city.
A graduate of Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, Brunswick supplemented her studies at Parsons and the Art Students League. Her paintings are in private, corporate and institutional collections in Canada, Germany, Spain, Morocco and the United States. She has also exhibited in China, France, Italy and Israel; her paintings becoming ambassadors to the world that has inspired their creation.
