Of Water and Sky Print

Ken Nahan (a.k.a. Ken Kenan) b. 1960, New Orleans "A sketch of Ken Kenan's life should call attention to his birthplace, New Orleans, a city rich in history, diverse cultures and, significantly, the birthplace of jazz ... his art has been called intuitive, improvisational, whimsical, lyrical and rhythmic. Closer study reveals various degrees of formal order and overall harmony that utilize line, color and shape in ways that are immediately accessible and satisfying to viewers. Kenan's use of symbols alphabetical letters, asterisks, etc.is sometimes unique, at other times recurring. The effect is intriguing and elusive." - R. W. Holibaugh -
