About me
My name is Tabish Khan and I’m the art critic for Londonist and the author / editor of this newsletter.
I came from a corporate background, discovering art through London Underground posters and with no background in art myself - and here I am over a decade later as an art critic. It’s why I want to make art accessible to everyone, as the art world can seem intimidating to many and I want anyone to feel comfortable in making a leap into art like I did.
