Idris Khan (born 1978, Birminham 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 Whilliam Turner postcard from Tate Britain), or every Bernd & Hilla Becher spherical gasholder.
Khan received his BA from theUniversity of Derby in 2000 and his MA from theRoyal College of Art in 2004. He has shown work internationally in many exhibitions including those at the Taidehalli in Helsinki, Musée de l'Elysée in Switzerland, Victoria Miro in London and the Saatchi Gallery 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 Gallery (Paris) and Fraenkel Gallery (San Francisco).
