Based in London, Idris Khan creates work inspired by philosophical and theological texts, music and art. Khan’s artistic process is characterized by a continuous interplay of creation and erasure, where he skilfully layers new elements while preserving traces of what has come before. Khan first gained international acclaim for his photographic work in which he used digital technology to overlay and combine series of visual or textual materials. He is now working with photography, painting, and sculpture, using his layering techniques to question the essence of image and language. His art invites viewers to contemplate the intricate layers of memory, creativity, and human experience, while leaving a lasting impression on the contemporary world.
