Pippa El-Kadhi Brown’s canvases pulse with powder-soft colour. Hazy pastel tones drift over the surface, existing between abstraction and figuration. Forms appear half-recognised, like fragments of a dream coming slowly into focus. Her paintings conjure shifting, atmospheric environments in which natural shapes blur and reassemble, producing landscapes that feel at once intimate and elusive.Hues vibrating against one another become forms that appear briefly alive before dissolving back into the field. Fragments of the natural world, interior space and bodily sensation drift through her compositions. Pippa's paintings appear to breathe, their surfaces thick with hesitation, revision and intuitive adjustment.
