Idris Khan creates big multi-layered prints, often using existing photographs, postcards, paintings or books. Each layer is visible and adds to the eery feeling. He reinvents the existing image, adding his own personal touch. It might look like a drawing, as it has the same handmade feel to it. Idris Khan was born in Great Britain.
Idris Khan: "Every layer is an effect that needs to be created. All the scans are done at 100% and then I choose the amount of opacity I wish to have with every layer. Each layer is a fallible human decision. When I layer each scan, there is a decision made as to what I want to stay and what has to disappear. This process allows me to cut out the camera completely." Read more here.
