Tobi Kahn's Reverie presents paintings, works on paper and sculptures by the NYC-based artist, whose observant Judaism is integral to his art practice. Most important to a proper understanding of Kahn's art is the fundamental significance of the Jewish ethical principle of
tikkun olam (literal translation: "world repair"), which designates an obligation to repair or heal the broken world. These paintings convey the artist's deep belief that God is part of every aspect of our world, as well as his commitment to reach across denominational lines. [
