About

Sara Choudhrey is a London-based artist and researcher, using an investigative process to explore themes of space, place, heritage and belonging through visual and material culture and surface design.

Sara’s practice involves visual analysis, looking at the construction and application of patterns in a variety of media, where geometry and natural forms reference artefacts and architecture around the world. Sara is interested in human engagement with spaces, natural and man-made, considering their impact on each other beyond a specific time and place.

Sara has recently been shortlisted for the Working Drawing Award as part of the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2023. In 2022 Sara was a finalist for the Aesthetica Art Prize. Her works are held in the permanent collection of Leighton House, Borough Road Collection Archive, CW+ Trust and further private collections. Sara has exhibited across the UK and internationally, including at Saatchi Gallery, London as part of the Journeys: Healing Arts exhibition and Digital Futures in association with the V&A . 

Sara has completed a number of commissions including for MKIAC Digital Light: Code Makers at Bletchley Park and Manifesting the Unseen at Southampton City Art Gallery. Internationally she has exhibited at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, and the 25th and 18th editions of the Islamic Arts Festival at the Sharjah Art Museum in the UAE.
