Artists

Wyatt Kahn

Press release

Galerie Eva Presenhuber is pleased to present Signs, a group of important new paintings by New York-based artist Wyatt Kahn, the gallery’s seventh exhibition of his work.

Kahn’s new body of work glows with restrained color. After more than a decade working in a severely reduced, largely all-white palette, the artist here presents a suite of shaped, deconstructed canvases in an etiolated spectrum of greens, oranges, yellows, and blues. Made by adding paint to a mixture of beeswax and Turpentine – a procedure borrowed from Brice Marden – and applying it flatly with minimal visible brushwork, the smooth, matte surfaces absorb ambient light with stately, quiet authority.
