Nature by the uncool YBA, armoured ceramics and dizzying Aussie abstraction – the week in art

This week’s art scene is vibrant, showcasing Cecily Brown’s blooming creations, a contemporary reimagining of Ashanti folklore, and the profound sharing of ancient wisdom by three Indigenous Australian artists.

Cecily Brown: Picture Making

Cecily Brown presents an exhilarating collection of new works, aptly titled ‘Picture Making’. These pieces are a testament to kaleidoscopic vision, rich textual depth, and experimental painting techniques. Brown, often described as the Young British Artist who never quite conformed to the ‘cool’ stereotype, brings her unique artistic voice to life. Her dynamic creations emerge with a freshness that perfectly mirrors the blossoming natural environment around the Serpentine Gallery.
