David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition by American artist Scott Kahn at the gallery's Hong Kong location. Kahn has remained committed to a figurative mode of expression over the course of more than five decades, using a distinctive formal language to achieve a nuanced and poetic rendition of the simultaneous splendor and mundanity of the world around him. Kahn has since been the subject of numerous solo presentations, and the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grants (1986 and 1995) and a residency at The Edward F. Albee Foundation in Montauk, New York (1975–1977). His work is held in institutional collections including the He Art Museum, Foshan, China; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; Long Museum, Shanghai; LGBT Center, Robert Schoenberg Carriage House, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia; and Rachofsky Collection, Dallas.
Once in a Blue Moon features a body of new paintings that focus on different types of full moons across the lunar calendar—with its myriad connotations—as their central compositional element. Also on view are a selection of landscapes from throughout Kahn's career, several of which include the moon, often glimpsed in the background, materializing as a sort of omen for the scene laid out beneath. Viewed together, these works exemplify the artist's distinctive approach to the genre. This is Kahn's first solo presentation in Asia and his first with the gallery since his representation was announced in May 2024.
