Background
Born in 1977 and raised in Paris, Lord Anthony Cahn developed a keen interest in craftsmanship while working with materials and in volume from a very early age. In the late 1990s, he gradually turned to sculpture and graffiti. From this encounter came a singular exploration of the wall as a sculptural object, going beyond the codes of street art. Working this rock-like medium at every scale, the artist explores the passage of time and the writing that marks the wall. Through his creations in public space, he transports the viewer to Mexico, the United States, Israel, or Italy and reveals the memory, history, and identity of the streets of these countries.
Lord Anthony Cahn participated in a number of contemporary art fairs and exhibitions, as well as at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris, at MuMo (Musée Mobile), and at the Musée de la Grande Garde in Liège. In 2020, he created the work Listed As A Historic Monument (Classé Monument Historique) at Le Bourget airport, a piece integrated into the architecture of Maison Chenue, an art conservation center and winner of the SIMI Prize.
The artist is represented by Keza Gallery.
