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 minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
