Totemic Immigration is a contemporary Cubist oil painting exploring migration, identity, and cultural transformation through stacked symbolic forms and fragmented figurative imagery.

Eco Pill is a contemporary surrealist oil painting examining environmental collapse, consumer culture, and humanity’s attempt to contain ecological crisis through technological and pharmaceutical symbolism. Featuring marine life enclosed within a transparent capsule, Farron Khan explores the tension between preservation and artificial control, questioning whether environmental destruction can truly be solved through manufactured solutions alone. The fragmented composition and luminous color palette create a sense of suspended fragility, while the encapsulated ecosystem becomes a symbol of both protection and confinement. Through surreal imagery and contemporary symbolism, the painting reflects growing anxieties surrounding pollution, climate change, and the commodification of nature.

The Peach Farmer is a contemporary Cubist oil painting honoring agricultural labor, perseverance, and the dignity of everyday work through fragmented form and layered color. Inspired by rural life and the agricultural landscape of the American West, Farron Khan uses Cubist abstraction to transform the figure into a symbolic reflection on endurance, nourishment, and the often-overlooked individuals who sustain local communities. Shifting planes and geometric distortions emphasize both the physical demands of labor and the emotional connection between worker and land, while the painting’s warm palette reinforces themes of resilience, humanity, and shared cultural identity.
