Kahn’s carefully composed oil paintings are predominantly landscapes, but also include portraits, interiors and still life. The works pay close attention to light and depth, honing in on specific details like a branch, a reflection or the light of the moon. Memory is a key theme for Kahn who is keen to express the emotional condition of the places he recalls, rather than their exact physicality. As a result, he creates a subtle form of autobiography through his meditative and methodical painting process. Influences include an eclectic cohort of modernist painters, from the abstraction of Lee Krasner and Mark Rothko, to the figuration of Francis Bacon and Otto Dix and the surrealism of Dora Maar and René Magritte.
