Mennour is immensely proud to announce the representation of the internationally acclaimed British artist Idris Khan (1978‑).

Based in London, Idris Khan creates work inspired by profound philosophical and theological texts, music and art. Khan's artistic process is characterized by a continuous interplay of creation and erasure, where he skilfully layers new elements while preserving traces of what has come before. His signature large-scale works and sculptures exemplify his mastery of layering techniques, which converge to distill the essence of an image while forging something entirely novel through the repetition and superimposition of visual elements. His art invites viewers to contemplate the intricate layers of memory, creativity, and human experience, leaving a lasting impression on the contemporary world.

One of his new works will be featured at Paris+ par Art Basel and his first solo show at Mennour will take place in 2024.

Born in Birmingham in 1978, Idris Khan lives and works in London. He was appointed OBE for services to Art on the Queen’s Birthday 2017 Honours List. He had numerous solo shows at the British Museum, London (UK); Whitworth Gallery, University of Manchester (UK); Gothenburg Konsthall (SE); Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto (CA); Kunsthaus Murz, Mürzzuschlag (AT) and K20, Düsseldorf (DE).
The Milwaukee Art Museum will present his first survey in the USA, bringing together more than 100 artworks from more that 20 years of artistic practice, curated by Marcelle Polednik, Ph.D., the Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum.
