ihsan saad ihsan tahir (1995) Across painting, drawing, sculpture and writing, ihsan produces works that revolve around notions of class, cross-cultural exchange, displacement and masculinity. His practice often examines narratives of migration, modern literature, personal histories and language, how we exchange these themes and how our relation to factuality is formed by those exchanges.
He holds a MFA from both The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts & Goldsmiths University of London

ihsan’s work is at once unpolished and serene, contextual codes and encrypted visuals - typically circulated in the mass media - is cut out from their original surroundings and brought together in classic sculptural form. He associates differing symbols and subjects, plucking text and common icons to offer new connotations, countercultures and constitutive representations. ihsan attempts to reveal and challenge the ways in which we tend to accept existing portrayals and tropes in present-day.
