London-based IDRIS KHAN (_1978, Birmingham) is one of the most exciting British artists of his generation. Upon completing his Master's Degree in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art in London in 2004, he first garnered international attention for his digital layering of black-and-white photographs. In 2018, he created the British Museum's first site-specific work, he has had numerous international solo exhibitions, and in 2017 was awarded the American Architecture Prize for his design of Abu Dhabi's Wahat Al Karama.
