About The Artist and the Work
Artist and artistic alchemist, Martin Kagan, is a self-taught sculptor who creates outside the traditional canon of art, working in the ancient forms of clay and terra cotta, and finding inspiration in the uniqueness of human faces.
A native of South Africa, Kagan credits his early interest in sculpting to making small statues with his friends using window putty. With limited access to clay, he broke a few windows to feed his hobby. After becoming successful in business, he began collecting African statues which continue to inspire his art.
With the onset of the pandemic, Kagan took up sculpting as a means of connecting to the uniqueness of human expression and offering break-through views showcasing the exuberance of life. The pieces are born out of a desire to use visual images to communicate and transcend basic object viewing.
