Kate Ahn is an artist based in Los Angeles, California. Her work has been exhibited in the United States and abroad.

Ahn’s practice lives between the worlds of fashion and fine art — one built on visibility, desire, and commerce; the other on intellect, restraint, and permanence. She is interested in what happens when the language of glamour enters a space that demands seriousness, and how beauty and credibility are negotiated between surface and depth.

Through painting, she explores how allure, intellect, and emotion can coexist without hierarchy.
