Isaac Kahn was born in Lithuania
in 1950. He began his studies in 1966 at The Art
Institute "Dr. Israel Goldstein" in Jerusalem, where he
received his degree in sculpture and painting.
During this time he took advantage of painting courses
at the Bezalel Art School.
In 1974, Isaac moved to Montevideo, Uruguay, to attend
the University of Plastic Arts, where he specialized in
sculpture. There he worked with a group of
sculptors and made both the seal of arms of Uruguay and
a Diorama, now on display at the Courts of Justice in
Montevideo.
In
Isaac's paintings, he attempts to make it appear
three-dimensional by presenting his figures to us in
multiple viewpoints, seen from different angles and
diverse perspectives. His approach to the human
figure is portrayed through the redefinition of
pictorial space, the reduction of the human anatomy to
geometric form and the abandonment of the body's
normal proportions. What he seems to do is
organize his perceptions and recompose them into a
figurative sequence in which he has concentrated the
highest degree of visual unity and a moment of
multiple viewpoints.
Kahn
first showed at the International Art Fair in Tel Aviv
in 1977 and in the next year exhibited at the Museum of
Modern Art in Eilat, Israel.
In 1991 Isaac moved to Italy and participated in several
one man shows and group exhibitions. He remained
in Italy through 1995.
Saper Galleries has been carrying the cast bronze
sculpture of Isaac Kahn, the first of its kind in
Israel, since 1999. |
