Idris Khan
Over and Over
"This exhibition feels like a moment of distillation for me, it’s about drawing together years of thinking, of layering, of searching for rhythm in both language and silence."
Cristea Roberts Gallery is delighted to present a major solo exhibition by Idris Khan (b. 1978), the first dedicated to his editions, which traces four years of practice up to the present day. Idris Khan is interested in acts of repetition and the significance of these processes when all meaning is stripped away. He adopts a multi-media approach, often using printmaking, sculpture and photography to experiment with composition and language.
The exhibition, which is also the artist’s first show with the gallery, comprises new works on paper and wall mounted acrylic reliefs, comprised of layered musical notation and texts that appear to float, suspended in time.

After the reflection, 2025
“I was particularly drawn to the subtlety in Monet’s late work - how his colours feel like music, how they dissolve the boundary between time and perception. Translating those tones into printed layers, and introducing notation that’s generated from colour itself, was a way of making the ephemeral more tangible.”
