This week we are joined by Ken Goshen, who shares his insight into his painting journey, teaching and art education. Ken Goshen (חן גושן, b. 1988, Jerusalem) is an artist and educator based in NYC. His paintings bring together classical techniques and contemporary outlooks, striving to bridge the gap between tradition and progress. Goshen’s recent paintings are currently exhibited at the Jerusalem Biennale, at the Museum of Jewish Art at Hechal Shlomo. Goshen teaches painting and drawing at his school, Goshen Art Academy, located in midtown Manhattan, and he also provides online art lessons to hundreds of students worldwide. He is passionate about equipping contemporary art enthusiasts with classical skills, and believes that art–like language–can be learned by anyone. Goshen regards both his artistic creations and his teaching as integral components of an overarching mission: to contribute as much meaningful art to the world as possible, with a lesser emphasis on whether it originates from his own hand or that of his students Learn more about Ken here
