Annie Morris, Idris Khan
KOTARO NUKAGA is pleased to present ‘Annie Morris and Idris Khan A Petal Silently Falls,’ a two-person exhibition running from October 29 to December 26, 2025.
Both born in the United Kingdom in 1978, Morris is known for her sculptural series Stack, which places vibrantly colored spheres atop one another, while Khan is renowned for his serene works in blues and grays. Each has established an international reputation in their own right, and they collaborate on joint projects and dual exhibitions, walking hand-in-hand as partners in their personal and professional lives. This exhibition marks the first show in Japan for each artist.
Annie Morris developed her signature Stack series as a means of processing a profound personal grief. The Stack sculptures are vibrant and vivid and, for Morris, have become a monument of hope in the face of tragedy. At an exhibition held in 2022 at Château La Coste in France, numerous pieces from this series were displayed facing legendary feminist artist Louise Bourgeois’ Crouching Spider, a permanent fixture at the venue. The series captivated many visitors, and won critical acclaim.
Born to a Pakistani father and British mother, Idris Khan visualises the accumulation of time and complexity of memory through the repeated layering of motifs such as Quranic verses and photographs. Early in his artistic career, in 2008, Khan held a solo exhibition at K20 in Düsseldorf, Germany, a museum renowned for its collection of 20th-century masterpieces. In 2016, he was commissioned by the government of Abu Dhabi（UAE）to design and install a large war memorial monument. He has tirelessly continued his practice to the present day—including a recent work commissioned by the Obama Foundation that will be unveiled in Spring 2026—and was awarded an OBE for services to Art in 2017.
This exhibition presents works by Annie Morris and Idris Khan at KOTARO NUKAGA Roppongi and KOTARO NUKAGA Tennoz). We invite you to experience firsthand the path walked by each artist in their creative practice, and the resonance hidden deep within.
