Miriam Cahn’s show “Reading Dust” on view at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, until January 26
Miriam Cahn harnesses the power of simplicity in her evocative brushstrokes, painting the brutal realities of human atrocities with a vigorous intensity. Her work captures universal emotions like anger and vulnerability through semi-abstract, ghostly figures set against otherworldly landscapes. Shaped by feminist theory, she unapologetically explores womanhood, reclaiming the female body with raw intimacy and challenging prevailing ideals. In a world rife with turmoil, Cahn’s work stands as a fierce testament to resilience and authenticity.
