SPARTA: Idris Khan OBE – Artist Talk

Idris Khan OBE is one of the most exciting British artists of his generation.

Drawing inspiration from the history of art and music as well as key philosophical and theological texts, Khan investigates memory, creativity and the layering of experience. Working across media including sculpture, painting and photography, he uses techniques of layering to arrive at what might be considered the essence of an image, and to create something entirely new.

This three part event will open with Idris Khan giving a talk titled Seasons Turn that focuses on the evolution of his practice into colour. This will be followed by a discussion about Creative Process to engage Idris Khan with participating GCSE/ A-Level pupils.  The event will close with a soft drinks reception.

The event will be introduced by the Director of Art at St Paul’s School, Mr Michael Grant.
