One of the most exciting contemporary British artists First comprehensive career survey accompanying Khans first US exhibition Conversation with artist and author Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes
Idris Khan is internationally recognized for a densely-layered, poetic body of work imbued with echoes and reverberations that evoke the flow of time. Drawing inspiration from culturally coded sources and artifacts, Khan explores themes including history, religion, music and cumulative experience. Repetition and ritual are central to Khans approach to image-making and have remained a throughline in his practice. Spanning painting, photographic prints, watercolors, works on paper, sculpture, and video, Khan condenses human experience into images that encapsulate the metaphysical collapse of time into singular moments. Idris Khan: Repeat After Me chronicles the development of the British artists practice across more than two decades, from his early monochromatic photographic works to a new series of abstract watercolor compositions that encapsulate the essence of iconic paintings of the 16th-18th centuries through their use of color. Accompanying his first US exhibition, this catalogue will feature essays by curator Marcelle Polednik, art critic David Carrier and a conversation between Idris Khan and artist Edmund de Waal. Londonbased IDRIS KHAN (*1978, Birmingham) is one of the most exciting British artists of his generation. Upon completing his Masters Degree in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art in London in 2004, he first garnered international attention for his digital layering of blackandwhite photographs. In 2018, he created the British Museums first sitespecific work, he has had numerous international solo exhibitions, and in 2017 was awarded the American Architecture Prize for his design of Abu Dhabis Wahat Al Karama.
