The Haunting Works of Aunia Kahn Revealed in St. Louis

Saint Louis, MO October 16, 2009 – Our Intimate Perception, a solo exhibition of work by Artist Aunia Kahn’s is being presented to the public by the Concrete Ocean Art Gallery in downtown St. Louis this November.

The multi-media art show will feature upwards of 24 original works by Kahn, some of her well-known, familiar pieces to some that will be exhibited for the first time anywhere. This is Aunia’s first solo exhibition in the local St. Louis area since 2008 as demand for her work has been overwhelming on the national level.

Kahn’s work combines varying disciplines that result in a hybrid art form from which she designs and builds characters, non-existent places, dreams, illusions, fears and fables into creation. The work has been compared to movie-like stills, which hide away long stories within their visuals. Her work has been published in over 70 different outlets, from the cover of the St. Louis Sinner to magazines in Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Norway, Italy and the UK.

“Often times I explore taboo and controversial subject matter to challenge the viewer, their understanding and preconceived notions, yet I try and connect through honest feeling and emotions.” - Aunia Kahn

Concrete Ocean Gallery located at 2257 S. Jefferson Ave. and will host the show starting November 6, 2009 with a free opening reception with the artist and public from 6pm – 10pm and will run the entire month, all works will be for sale through the gallery. One of her artworks will be up for silent auction that will benefit Stray Rescue of St. Louis.
