About Sara J Beazley
Sara J Beazley is a London-based artist and printmaker whose refined style has garnered international attention. Marrying old with new, she employs traditional printing techniques such as etching, drypoint, embossing and silkscreen printing to produce contemporary and original images. Her works capture a delicacy and subtle beauty of line, pattern and palette. Juxtaposing architectural drawings or photographs with fine patterned fabrics and elements of the figure, Sara’s work is graceful and sensitive. The carefully composed layers of ink amalgamate to produce remarkably sophisticated images, close inspection reveals many “ghost like” images and tracings. Adopting motifs from vintage postcards, calligraphy and postage stamps found in antique markets in Asia and Europe, Sara recaptures a historical setting with a contemporary sensibility.
Born in May of 1980, Sara earned a Masters Degree from Camberwell College of Art in 2002, and has since lived and worked in London, Hong Kong, New York and Paris. She has exhibited in Hong Kong, New York, Miami, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore and London. Embracing the flexibility of printmaking, Sara has secured high profile commissions and collaborations with Shanghai Tang, Selfridges, Liberty of London, the Pedder Group, the Harilela Hotel Group, The Peninsula (Hong Kong), The Kings Head Hotel (Gloucestershire) Japanese fashion label FurFur and Coco Ribbon. Sara has also been a visiting lecturer in the Printmaking Department of London Metropolitan University.
