Scott Kahn: Once in a Blue Moon
WHAT
The American artist is known for his commitment to figurative expression for over 5 decades, using a distinctive formal language to capture the simultaneous beauty and banality of the world. His first solo exhibition in Asia presents new paintings focused on various full moons from the lunar calendar, exploring their rich symbolism. The show also features select landscapes from his career, many of which incorporate the moon as a mysterious, atmospheric element.
WHY
Titled after his 2023 painting ‘Blue Moon’, which depicts the full moon merging with its blue-toned counterpart, the exhibition offers an opportunity to experience the artist’s approach blending realism with surrealism. His works invite viewers to reflect on the beauty and complexity of the ordinary, evoking deep emotional resonance through the use of light, colour, and perspective.
