Aisha Cahn rojen 1959

Britanka Born: Pariz Sodobna umetnost; Abstrakni ekspresionizem

V nespremenljivi širini sodobne umetnosti redko kateri glas odmeva z toliko tiho intenzivnostjo in kultno globino kot Aisha Cahn. Kot britanska sodobna umetnica, katere korenine segajo v živahne ulice Mumbaja v Indiji, je Cahn skozi svojo kariero orkestrirala globok dialog med duhovnimi tradicijami Vzhoda in izrazno svobodo Zahoda.
