Idris Khan

Drawing on diverse cultural sources including literature, history, art, music and religion, Idris Khan, has developed a unique narrative involving densely layered imagery that inhabits the space between abstraction and figuration and speaks to the themes of history, cumulative experience and the metaphysical collapse of time into single moments.

Atelier JI has collaborated with Khan on two occasions, most recently to produce The Four Seasons, 2024 series, and in 2022, when alongside Migrate Art and The Evening Standard, we raised over £200,000 to support Disasters Emergency Committee’s activities in Ukraine with the I Thought We Had More Time… timed edition.
