Yes it can, but you need to clean the surface well and then using a wire brush go over the surface well to knock the glossy finish off before you paint.

Really does not matter what type of paint you use, but I would suggest getting a better quality latex paint for the process. A think roller pad and perhaps some throw away brushes as the rough surface of the brick could wear the better brush bristles down.
