One creates a visual language with which to explore and set outs on a journey. For me it’s a way to investigate, discover, process and reveal. Mostly, I paint because of how it feels, the sensate aspects of the experience and the elation of discovery. Art is a way to travel, unfettered. I’m interested in density and profusion and the mix in which all “subjects” reside. Maybe that comes from growing up in a large city where that was the prevailing experience. The processes of creation and decay that inhabit all things are central to this mix. I work with abstraction as a countervailing impulse to the limitations of ordinary, everyday reality; a way to push boundaries and explore other aspects of what it all is. “Kane’s surfaces and textures – a painterly gravure – are suffused with a mystical transcendental orientation…(His) vision is engaged in giving coherent form to unseen energies that seem to unify space, matter and time, throwing us headlong into a fulfilling exploration of the unknowable…This is the source of their importance and their mystery. This mystery is the source of their power.” Dominque Nahas, a member of the International Art Critics Association, is an independent curator and critic based in Manhattan EXHIBITIONS ONE PERSON EXHIBITIONS
