Sarah Lord, 'Zigzag'

Recent and ongoing subjects are derived from familiar experiences with everyday objects or occurrences. By re-looking at the easily ignored, missed, fleeting or throw away, particularly ‘still-life’ objects, the kind of things we handle without thought, and re-interpreting them at the edge of abstraction, I hope to encourage closer looking and alternative perceptions of the ordinary.

Sarah Lord studied at Canterbury College of Art and Gloucestershire College of Art (Cheltenham) gaining a BA (Hons) in Fine Art – Painting. She has exhibited widely throughout the Southeast and in London including the Cadogan Contemporary Summer Show, several years at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, and the Royal Overseas League Annual Exhibition. Her work has been represented in The British Art Fair at the Royal College of Art and she has taken part in Battersea Art Fair. 

More recently Sarah has participated in group exhibitions at Linden Hall Studio in Deal and the NEAC Annual Exhibition at Mall Galleries, London.  Southeast Arts Collection and Kent County Libraries and Museums Collection hold examples of her work.  Paddy Kitchen reporting for Country Life magazine on the RA Summer Exhibition 1992 found Sarah’s entry “poetic” and “rather beautiful”. Turps Banana Correspondence Course mentee 2024/25.
