Cecily Brown is the first British contemporary artist commissioned by Blenheim Art Foundation to create a site-specific body of work for Blenheim Palace, an English country home built in the eighteenth century to reward the military success of the first Duke of Marlborough. Through this timely exhibition of paintings, drawings, monotypes, and a new textile, Brown addresses the portrayal and conservation of British ruling class heritage through images of soldierly valour and pastoral leisure.
Examining traditional genres, namely battle and hunting scenes, from the Spencer-Churchill family’s English collections, the artist’s charged reinterpretations of a once-exalted Britishness arrive at a particularly poignant moment, as the UK departs the European Union. In
