Avraham (Abraham) Kan, born 1968 in sunny seaside Batumi, Georgia, lives and works in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Abraham’s work can be best described as naïve primitivism. His paintings show scenes loaded with figures, events and color. Childhood memories, characters from books he has read, biblical stories and everyday life often crisscross in layers in one painting. He has a rich imagination and a great sense of shape and color. Despite the fact that Kan does not use light or shade, his “flat” paintings are full of expression and motion. He can organize shapes and complex situations by seemingly simple means – the effect is immediate and striking. Kan’s art is truly imaginative, hypnotic, bursting with life.

“I choose to bring the audience light, love and humor. Darkness has no place in my art–life is complicated enough”, he says. “The magic happens when you manage to put all you love, dream about and are driven to in one place, creating an indelible memory”.
