Wyatt Kahn @
Xavier Hufkens
—
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.
