By blurring the boundaries between pictorial landscape and painterly abstraction, Wolf Kahn evokes an ethereal world, a world marked by epiphanies.
Kahn centers his paintings on the way masses of saturated hues can be made to “push and pull” each other into space. A summer sunset blazes with a very red; a thicket of trees distilled to their most elemental, silhouetted by a luminous yellow light. Kahn takes scenery that is once universal and transforms shape and color into something wholly unique.
