Kahn sees portraiture as the most fertile area for his human research. Indeed, in each portrait, the artist projects a part of our humanity in which the viewer recognizes himself. His portraits bear a sensitivity that displaces and conquers the audience simultaneously, with incredible strength.
The Pollock-Krasner Foundation awarded him both in 1986 and 1995.
His Berkshire Nightscape was exposed for three years at the American Embassy in Moscow. Moreover, Scott Kahn boasts a long exhibition history in the United States and abroad.
“I consider my work to be a visual diary, a record of my life, a reporting of the places and people I encounter. It is not easy to begin a painting, despite the variety and complexity of the world. It is particularly important to me to have a reason to paint, for the impulse to be strong. If I do not feel compelled to work, how can I expect the viewer to respond to what I am reporting? If I am successful, hopefully, the painting will have depth, poetry, and honesty. The effect should be direct and clear. To achieve this result, a creative person calls upon every tool available to him: technical, emotional, intuitive, and intellectual. The act of creating, therefore, teaches us and reveals to us who we are and our relationship to life. This is why I paint.”
