Places Research Idris Khan


Idris Khan


Idris Khan was born in 1978 and was born in Birmingham and is an artist based in London. When looking at his work it starts to look like charcoal drawings and you could imagine his work would be really big sized canvases.
Idris Khans work combines with digital photographs and get superimposed in to layers so his work looks like pencil drawings. Khan has a BA Honour were he studied at The University of Derby in 2000 and a MA in the Royal College of Art. What kind of mood or meaning does this work communicate? I think Khans work communicates with buildings being strong and had a mood to them this photograph below looks like it is under construction. Is Khan's Art work is challenging or assumption of the media? His work can be in words of in drawings about music. 
Personally i am not fond of his work because i proffer street photographs and landscapes but i do find his work interesting. I like the detail and the way it looks pencil like.
