Emotional and physical memories meet – unconstrained by reality – in a domestic American landscape by Scott Kahn.

Based on an original oil painting from 1989, INGERSOLL’S BRANCH recalls a visit to a friend's home in New Jersey. Kahn combines elements from various parts of the surrounding grounds. His paintings are not about representing geographical truth. Instead, they are a record of a mood, or a moment. Liberated by this approach, the scene is littered with visual contradictions. Trees from every season huddle together, and a vibrant blue sky is peppered with clouds threatening to burst.

Each print is intricately hand-finished by the artist in oil paint – adding a new layer of depth and definition to the orange and green trees that frame the image.

Behind the scenes

Scott Kahn2 collaborationsKahn’s carefully composed oil paintings are predominantly landscapes, but also include portraits, interiors and still life. The works pay close attention to light and depth, honing in on specific details like a branch, a reflection or the light of the moon. Memory is a key theme for Kahn who is keen to express the emotional condition of the places he recalls, rather than their exact physicality. As a result, he creates a subtle form of autobiography through his meditative and methodical painting process. Influences include an eclectic cohort of modernist painters, from the abstraction of Lee Krasner and Mark Rothko, to the figuration of Francis Bacon and Otto Dix and the surrealism of Dora Maar and René Magritte.
