Idris Khan

Idris Khan

Idris Khan (born 1978, Birmingham, UK) is an artist based in London.

His work comprises digital photographs that superimpose iconic text or image sets into a single frame (for instance, every page of the Qur'an, every Beethoven sonata, every William Turner postcard from Tate Britain), or every Bernd and Hilla Becher spherical gasholder. [ [http://www.victoria-miro.com/artists/35,biog/ Biography] , Victoria Miro Gallery]

Khan received his BA from the University of Derby in 2000 and his MA from the Royal College of Art in 2003. He has shown work internationally in many exhibitions including those at the Taidehalli in Helsinki, Musée de l'Elysée in Switzerland, and Victoria Miro in London. He recently completed the cover art for Editors album An End Has A Start which utilises techniques he used in his Becher on Becher series of industrial buildings, in this case a gas-works.

He is represented by Galerie Thomas Schulte (Berlin), Victoria Miro Gallery (London), Yvon Lambert (Paris & New York) and Fraenkel Gallery (San Francisco).
