Scott Kahn, Afternoon of a Faun, 1986
Scott Kahn at Harper’s Chelsea and Harper’s Apartment (through March 20), and at ATM Gallery (through March 21):
In his intricate and intimate style, Scott Kahn combines outsider obsessions with interior visions. His surrealist paintings depict every leaf and cloud in dream-like tableaux. Now through March 20, spread across its two New York venues, Harper’s Chelsea and Harper’s Apartment is exhibiting a survey of Kahn’s meditative works. At the same time, on the Lower East Side through March 21, ATM Gallery is showing a selection of his portraits. The real and the surreal together, the three exhibitions present a comprehensive overview of Kahn’s uncanny body of work. —James Panero
