Misha Kahn, "Radiant Affection", 2022

About the Item

Misha Kahn [American, b. 1989] Radiant Affection, 2022 Rose quartz, bronze Measures: 28 x 65.75 x 18.25 inches 71 x 167 x 46 cm Unique Since 2017 Misha Kahn has produced tables, chairs, and consoles from his Rock series. Each function is built on the back of a large natural specimen—in this case a console is lovingly rendered by fusing molten bronze with a mass of rose quartz. If red is the color of passion and white is the color of innocence, the mixture of the two has come to signify a sort of innocent love or affection. Fittingly, the word pink is thought to originate from the name of a flower, from the genus Dianthus. In actuality, the color pink rarely occurs in nature, hence why it didn’t appear as a word until the 17th century. And while quartz (the colorless crystalline variety) is one of the most common minerals on earth, when it appears in a milky rose-colored hue adorned with a duel-stemmed shiny bronze tabletop, something quite normal becomes an object of our radiant affection. Misha Kahn has emerged as one of the leading creative voices of his generation. Through a wildly imaginative approach that embraces spontaneity and non-conformity, Kahn allows the illogical and the irreverent to take over his entire process. He employs everything from lo-fi and ad hoc techniques—such as improvisational molds and collage—to high-tech tools such as virtual reality and robotics. Born in Duluth, Minnesota in 1989, Kahn graduated from Rhode Island School of Design in 2011 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Furniture Design. Soon after, he gained recognition when he was featured in the Museum of Arts and Design's Biennial (2014). Unafraid to push boundaries, Kahn is determined to question the accepted way of doing things, driving him to self-invent, adapt, and further processes in a myriad of mediums including metalwork, glass, wood, textiles, ceramic, bronze casting, fiberglass, and cement. Voracious to upend traditional techniques, he embraces the opportunity to learn from masters in their respective crafts. Kahn’s acclaimed woven Scrappy series (since 2015), is the result of a collaboration with Gone Rural, a female group of traditional weavers based in Swaziland. His work has been exhibited internationally and is in the permanent collection of museums such as the Corning Museum of Glass, NY; Dallas Museum of Art, TX; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX and Speed Museum of Art, Louisville, KY. Kahn lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
