Pale yellow, soft blue and pink establish a high-key ground from which loosely resolved forms emerge and recede, the composition held in a state of suspension. The scale invites full bodily immersion; the marks, gestural and unhurried, suggest breath rather than urgency. El-Kadhi Brown's title, Lick the Sky, carries a quality of unbounded appetite, the desire to reach beyond available space, and the painting holds that ambition in its expansive, unanchored field.1of 3
