  • Catalogue Essay

    Wyatt Kahn lives and works in New York. Like the Minimalist sculptors who used industrial fabrics and the postwar European artists who employed lead to engage with notions of gravity and somberness, Kahn's use of lead and industrial fabric in their raw state underscores their inherent aesthetic, historical, and commercial properties. The artist's older linen compositions remade in lead take on a weightier cast, their abstract fields of curves and lines coalescing into allusively figurative and architectural shapes. His recent solo exhibitions were held at Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto, Trento (2016) and at the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis (2015).
