About:

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 will be exhibited at this year’s Jerusalem Biennale, at both Barbur Gallery and the Museum of Jewish Art at Hechal Shlomo (March).

Goshen teaches painting and drawing at his school, “Goshen Art Academy,” located in midtown Manhattan, as well as online to hundreds of students worldwide. He is passionate about equipping contemporary artists 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.
