Scipop is the alias of London-based artist Nazar Ali Khan.
He was born in London, where he studied architecture and qualified, practiced and taught as an architect. With the disruptive arrival of digital media, he transitioned from architecture to create digital experiences from emerging technologies for top brands across the London agency scene.
Also active on the music scene as an artist and designer over the years, Nazar is a seasoned musician himself. He has also performed under his techno and sound art alias Stray Transmission in London, Margate and Brighton, and in collaboration with performance troupe The Cult of Rammellzee at the Magda Danysz Gallery In London.
In 2023, Nazar organised two pop up events at Happenstance Gallery in Shoreditch. Live Transmissions 1 and 2 showcased his digital art prints as Scipop alongside his live electronic music and sound art performances.
Positive reaction to these shows prompted him to bring his passion for his visual art practice to the fore. His recent “Interventions” series of paintings, contrasting expanses of expressive colour with bold imagery and abstract elements, have been well received.
The course is set for a new era of Scipop artworks.
Scipop - Science Fiction Pop Art.
My artworks bring together modernism’s white hot abstraction with pop’s cool imagery and bold colours. I draw on both art historical influences and my personal experience in popular visual culture, taking a campaign-style approach to my works.
Like a brand without a product.
I work with both traditional and digital media. Contrasting techniques in my paintings explore notions of surface and depth, while the dynamic spatial relationships in my compositions draw on my relationship with architecture.
With a passion and empathy for people, my paintings explore moments of transition, transience and realisation. My “Interventions” series asks - what brings us back to the present when we’re focussed too far into the future? My “Missions” series looks at everyday empowerment.
Personal stories framed as universal experiences.
