Biography
Oregon-based artist and artistic alchemist, Martin Kagan, is a self-taught sculptor who creates outside the traditional canon of art to create life-size masks and heads. A native of South Africa, Kagan credits his early interest in sculpting to making small basic statues as a child using window putty. Consequently, 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 continued 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.
Kagan’s appreciation for the visual world is also showcased in his patented 3D data visualizations over time viewed at B4URIZ.
