SAVOY SERIES
Kuhn works on cotton canvas or wooden panels using acrylic mediums as paint. His abstract paintings are
explorations to discover the visual possibilities of painting by means of images and forms that he conjures.
His approach is rigorous utilizing the fundamentals of composition and design. His goal is to create art that
pleases; art that provides psychological and physical sensory experiences. Use of large size format allows
the viewer to physically engage with the painting in a more direct way. Large paintings limit one’s visual
field. In creating a space that is visually closed, Kuhn seeks to enhance the viewer’s engagement, making it
a more compelling experience. His non-objective paintings often involve optical effects. His purpose is the
elimination of the focal point found in traditional compositions. He achieves this by creating overall patterns
and saturated complementary colors which when juxtaposed cause an optical effect.
