Maya Frodeman Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition with artist Wolf Kahn, on view at the gallery's downtown location from September 17th through November 1st, 2026. An opening reception will be held Thursday, September 17th from 5 to 8pm. All are welcome to attend.
Wolf Kahn was one of the most highly regarded colorists working before his death in 2020. By blurring the boundaries between pictorial landscape and painterly abstraction, he evoked an ethereal world, a world marked by epiphanies. Kahn centered his paintings on the way masses of saturated hues can be made to “push and pull” each other into space. A summer sunset blazes with a very intense red; a thicket of trees distilled to their most elemental, silhouetted by a luminous yellow light. Kahn utilized scenery that was universal and transforms shape and color into something wholly unique.
