Collaged archival pigment print in colours. Unknown edition size, from a timed-limited edition produced with Migrate Art in 2022. Hand signed in crayon by Idris Khan. Based on a collage created with music paper and watercolour in the colours of the Ukrainian flag. Idris Khan’s I Thought We Had More Time (2022) is a collaged archival pigment print that layers musical notation into dense, atmospheric bands of color. The composition is structured in horizontal fields of deep blue and warm yellow, echoing the Ukrainian flag, while overlapping fragments of sheet music create a sense of compression and visual rhythm. The accumulation of lines and notes becomes almost abstract, suggesting memory, loss, and the passage of time rather than legible sound. Created in support of Migrate Art, the work reflects Khan’s ongoing exploration of repetition, erasure, and cultural resonance through layered imagery.

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.
