Alyson Khan is an abstract painter whose work explores transformation, perception, and symbolic space through geometric abstraction driven by the quiet narrative of the psyche. Her paintings combine hard-edge forms, translucent layers, gestural brushwork and architectural arrangements that she sees as “functional.” Her compositions often reference dress forms, masks, headpieces, altars, ceremonial objects, shields, and portals. Khan’s inspiration draws from sewing, quilting, esoteric symbolism, Art Deco architecture, Mid-Century design, and ritual practice. Color is central to Khan’s practice, serving as both a formal and emotional force.
The Denver Colorado based artist has maintained a studio practice and exhibited her work since 1999. Her work is collected worldwide and featured in collections and collaborations across the US, as well as Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore, Nanjing, Dubai, London, Edinburgh, and Amsterdam among other places.
