Cristea Roberts Gallery presents 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.
The exhibition, which is also the artist’s first show with the gallery, comprises new prints and wall-mounted acrylic reliefs, comprised of layered musical notation and texts that appear to float, suspended in time. For the last four years, Idris Khan has taken a markedly sculptural approach to printmaking, printing on multiple layers of acrylic to produce abstract editions. After the setting sun, 2025, a new series of six wall-mounted reliefs exemplifies this technique. This body of work, which is exhibited at the gallery for the very first time, is inspired by Soleil Couchant, 1914–1926, a painting of water lilies at dusk by the Impressionist Claude Monet (1840 – 1926), housed in the Musée de l’Orangerie, Paris.
