Totemic Immigration is a contemporary Cubist oil painting exploring migration, identity, and cultural transformation through stacked symbolic forms and fragmented figurative imagery. Influenced by themes of displacement, adaptation, and collective memory, Farron Khan uses layered geometry and shifting perspectives to reflect the emotional complexity of movement across borders, histories, and generations. The totemic structure suggests both resilience and burden, emphasizing how personal and cultural identities are continuously shaped through migration and shared experience. Through abstraction and symbolism, the work examines belonging, survival, and the evolving nature of human connection.
Drone Warfare (2024)
Oil on wood panel, 16 × 20 inchesDrone Warfare is a contemporary Cubist oil painting exploring surveillance, modern conflict, and the psychological distance created by military technology. Drawing in part from Farron Khan’s military background, the work examines how drones, remote observation, and digital systems reshape human perception of war, power, and accountability. Fragmented forms, layered spatial planes, and mechanical symbolism create a sense of tension between human vulnerability and technological control, while the fractured composition reflects the emotional and moral disconnection often associated with contemporary warfare. Through Cubist distortion and symbolic imagery, the painting invites viewers to consider the growing relationship between surveillance, conflict, and everyday life.
