CECILY BROWN
THE EUPHORIC
ABSTRACTION:
THE LUMINOUS CHAOS
book
design
Cecily Brown, a contemporary artist, fuses art abstraction with figuration, often exploring themes of sensuality, movement, and disorder. The artist’s paintings invite viewers into an emotional and visual experience, highlighting the intensity of human emotion, sexuality, and the physicality of paint itself. I designed a book stating the essence of her work.
The artist is renowned for creating works that evoke fragmented human forms, landscapes, and abstract compositions. Her approach is not premeditated; instead, she allows each painting to unfold organically, capturing a balance between tension and chaos, alternating between moments of control and spontaneity.


I designed the book to reflect the irony in the artist’s work, balancing her large, dynamic pieces with a clean, structured layout. The contrast between her vibrant, chaotic art and the simple design creates a striking visual tension. Featuring a bold artwork on the cover not only highlights her gallery but also invites readers to dive into her world. This design helps readers connect with the deep emotion and meaning in her work.
