Idris Khan Death of Painting lithograph nearly black surface with subtle textured layers and tonal variations

Hand lithograph on Somerset Satin paper. Hand signed, dated and numbered by Khan. Published by Eros Press London. Idris Khan’s Death of Painting (2014) is a hand lithograph on Somerset Satin paper that explores density, repetition, and the limits of visual perception. The surface appears almost entirely black, yet closer observation reveals layered textures, ghostly traces, and subtle tonal variations that emerge from accumulated marks. Rather than depicting an image, Khan builds a field of compressed gestures, evoking the idea of painting reduced to its essential residue. Published by Eros Press London in a small edition, the work reflects his conceptual approach, where absence, memory, and erasure become central visual themes.

What is geometric abstract art?

Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
