Michael Kahn – Make It Happen

Artist Statement

These pieces are all digital abstractions with vibrant and compelling colors and designs reflecting what I call one’s “visual stream of consciousness.”
They are created totally from scratch and does not employ AI or other’s art.

Artist Biography

Can someone be “Destined To Be An Artist?” Born with the desire to express onesself visually?  I would argue that it is completely possible, not having any memory of ever not being fully immersed in the wonder of the visual image.  My need to create seemed ever-present, and I poured over magazine ads hoping that one day I would be creating my own.  When in the 5th grade I won a contest for a trip to a New York Ad Agency, the decision had been made.  Having been awarded a full time scholarship to the School of Visual Arts, I decided to attend Pratt Insitute, and finished my studies at The Chicago Art Institute. Not long after, I began my career as an Art Director for various agencies.

Recently  I have been given the opportunity to actually persue my passion and share my vision through a series of compelling and colorful pieces.  My goal is to create works that come alive every time you view it, and never stop offering interpretation, and translation.  Life is a series of random events, and this is what my designs reflect-the ever-moving, yet sometimes mechanical process of thought.  Creating on my own terms has added a layer to my life that was not present before, as I can honestly say it has made me whole.
