about the artist

Sarah Emily Porter is an award-winning British artist whose practice explores colour, composition, and process. Working from her Leyton studio, she creates abstract works using gravity-led mechanisms that remove the artist’s hand, allowing materials to flow and settle naturally. Her pieces respond to the textures and histories of place, layering paint to echo the physical and emotional fabric of urban and natural environments. Through her innovative approach, Sarah Emily invites viewers to witness the quiet choreography between control, chance, and the forces of nature.

the story

In her trio of “Barbican Study” originals, Sarah brings together two sides of the Barbican that have long fascinated her. The bold, geometric lines and hard concrete edges of the Barbican Centre sit in quiet dialogue with the softer, organic shapes found inside the Barbican Conservatory.

Each painting balances structure and spontaneity. Grid-like compositions nod to Brutalist architecture, while rounded, almost petal-like forms soften the rhythm, echoing the greenery of the Conservatory.
