After first drawn to painting after being inspired by Cubism’s proposal of perceiving the physical, Abdullah Khan creates paintings that play on human vision and perception. His practice focuses keenly on the intersection of abstraction and representation, subconscious and conscious, art and technology. Trained as a mechanical engineer, his research into materials sciences and industrial design lead eventually to art as a profession and vocation. Any number of subjects from his arcane interests as well as his own contemplations of changing self and observations of the current zeitgeist inspire his work. His style is informed by technological precision and analog draughtsman-ship with visible readings from cubism, minimalism, the color theorists, and the abstract expressionists, although the diversity of subject matter defy any single classification.
