Wyatt Kahn is primarily known for his investigations into the visual and spatial relationship between painting and sculpture. Kahn assembles complex wall-mounted works in which the gaps between the individual canvases give rise to abstract or pictorial compositions. Rather than tracing the lines and shapes directly onto the canvas itself, he turns them into physical components of the artwork. Kahn says his painting are, “made by me, made by hand. There are errors in the lines. They are imperfect. They have a certain representational or human quality.” For the exhibition at �鶹ֱ�� Art Gallery, Kahn also presents drawings, prints, collages, and photographs in addition to his sculptural paintings.
