The idea: 
Kahn's oeuvre 
deals with both
abstraction and
representation, 
and whilst
previous series
have explored
one or other of
these avenues
individually, the
artist’s most
recent reliefs
are an attempt
to explore both
simultaneously. 

Keywords: 
Minimalism, 
spatiality, 
figuration. 

Output:
3D iterations 
of 2D linear 
compositions 
– comprised of 
unprimed layers 
of linen stretched 
across wooden 
frames. 

"I see them 
as drawings, 
where the wall 
is the paper. 
The whole object 
is the drawing 
on the wall." 

'Natural 
failure': 
The idea of 
craftsmanship, 
and the flaws 
inherent within 
hand-production 
are central to 
Kahn's work. 

"Making a 
perfect work is 
not interesting to 
me, but human 
error is. You look 
for those moments, 
and when you 
find one it makes 
it all worth it. 
It adds another 
layer."
