Untitled
Wyatt Kahn
American, born 1983
2018
A six-color lithograph printed on a sheet of lead in which Wyatt Kahn transforms quick, improvisational drawing into an architectural, scaffold-like abstraction to see how gestural marks hold up when fixed as a printed, metallic object.
A ghostly cyan-blue structure floats against a burnished gray field—sketchy black contours, translucent washes and vertical drips read like a half-erased diagram or the lingering memory of a machine.
By printing spontaneous, drawing-like gestures onto lead, Kahn collapses drawing, printmaking, and sculptural presence, forwarding a contemporary exploration of how the hand persists within mechanical reproduction.
