Every...Bernd and Hilla Becher Spherical Type Gasholder 2004

"Every...Bernd and Hilla Becher Spherical Type Gasholder" is a 2004 charcoal drawing by Idris Khan. The piece depicts a gasholder, a large, spherical structure used to store gas, rendered in a hazy and ethereal manner. Khan's work is often inspired by the photographic work of Bernd and Hilla Becher, known for their stark and objective documentation of industrial structures. Khan's layered and blurred style, however, evokes a sense of ambiguity and ephemerality, highlighting the fleeting nature of industrial landscapes. The work is a testament to Khan's masterful use of charcoal to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.
