Scott Kahn - Editions & Works on Paper New York Thursday, February 15, 2024 | Phillips
  • “It’s a little magical and mysterious. I often have to wait for that inspiration, that moment.”
    —Scott Kahn

     

    Spring Moon, Grant Street typifies Kahn’s penchant for beguiling, symmetrical compositions. Upon this detailed 21-layer screenprint, Kahn has added further depth and texture through an extensive layer of hand-coloring, in which the artist added blossoms and leaves to the outstretched branches of the moonlit trees. This laborious process makes every print in his debut edition with Amsterdam-based publisher Avant Arte unique and contributes to the otherworldly air that permeates Kahn’s dimensional and surreal interpretation of a spring moon.
