Tobi Kahn

American, b. 1952

Tobi Kahn is a painter and sculptor whose work has been shown in over 40 solo exhibitions and over 60 museum and group shows. For thirty years, Kahn has been steadfast in the pursuit of his distinct vision and persistent in his commitment to the redemptive possibilities of art. In paint, stone and bronze, he has explored the correspondence between the intimate and monumental. While his early works drew on the tradition of American Romantic landscape painting, his more recent pieces reflect his fascination with contemporary science, inspired by the micro-images of cell formations and satellite photography. Kahn's belief in the spiritual capacity of art is intrinsic to his work. Emily Bilski discusses Kahn's ceremonial art in Objects of the Spirit: Ritual and the Art of Tobi Kahn. Solo museum exhibitions of his work include Tobi Kahn: Metamorphoses, Correspondence and Avoda: Objects of the Spirit. His work is in the collections of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Skirball Cultural Center and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Born in 1952, Tobi Kahn received an M.F.A. from the Pratt Institute and lives in New York.
