Bio

Scipop (Science Fiction Pop Art) is the alias of London-based contemporary artist Nazar Ali Khan, whose works explore themes of personal transformation in the digital age. His bold and vibrant paintings bring together pop art and abstract art influences to reimagine the digital landscape and its inhabitants.

A self-taught artist, he was born in London, where he studied architecture and began his professional career as an architect. He transitioned from architecture to research and design digital experiences for global brands. The impact of digital media on our behaviour continues to inform the themes of his visual arts practice.

A seasoned live musician and visual artist on the music scene, Nazar has also performed under his sound art and electronic music alias Stray Transmission in London, Brighton and Margate, and in collaboration with performance troupe The Cult of Rammellzee in 2015 at the Magda Danysz Gallery in London.

His two “Live Transmissions” gallery events in 2023 at Happenstance Gallery in London showcased his art prints as Scipop alongside his live sound art and electronic music performances. The shows drew an enthusiastic response to his artworks and his recent paintings have been well received, setting the course for a new era of Scipop art.

Artist Statement

Scipop - Science Fiction Pop Art.

With passion and empathy for people navigating the digital media age, my recent paintings explore how our relationship with digital technology transforms how we see ourselves, and reimagine the images that we share online in an art context.

I take a layered approach to my paintings, working primarily with acrylic paint and spray paint, and include digital tools and techniques from street art as part of my process.
