SARAHCROWN published a conversation with Pippa El-Kadhi Brown, written up by Sarah Corona for the platform's ongoing series of artist interviews. The page itself is dated only "Aug 10," which is read here as 10 August 2026. The piece focuses on how the artist's paintings move between abstraction and figuration to register mood and memory rather than fixed scenes.
Discussed works include the 2026 paintings She Comes in Waves and Moth to a Match to a Flame, alongside the 2024 canvas Acatenango, all worked in oil. El-Kadhi Brown talks through her shift toward a palette of shimmering blues and pastel tones, softened more recently with organic browns and greys, and she describes her working method as "an excavation," searching for sensation and atmosphere before it settles into a named or fixed form.
The interview adds to a growing body of published conversations with Pippa El-Kadhi Brown and gives an up-to-date account of her working method as her paintings continue to move between the domestic interiors of her earlier practice and looser, more atmospheric compositions.
