Leading British artist Idris Khan OBE is renowned for his minimal yet profound artworks. For The OWO, Khan crafted two unique paintings, employing key words from Winston Churchill’s famed speech of August 20, 1940, imagining Churchill drafting it at the Old War Office. They are Khan's first works of this size using a new technique that bonds paper to aluminium to emphasise the brushwork and stamped text. Designed to resonate with the building's architecture, they showcase a contemporary yet historically connected aesthetic. Idris Khan retains the works’ copyright.
