Episode One: Idris Khan

For the first episode of How To Be An Artist, host Kate Bryan chats to British artist Idris Khan. He reflects on the moment he sold his artwork to Charles Saatchi as a fresh art graduate, and discusses the importance of doubt as part of the creative process. Based in London, Khan works in various media, drawing from a diverse range of cultural sources, including music, philosophy, literature, and religion. In 2017, he received an OBE for his services to art. Khan’s artwork can also be found in our Houses: Little House Mayfair, DUMBO House, Soho House New York, 40 Greek Street, Shoreditch House, and Soho House Rome (opening soon).
