Sarah Maple  

Sarah Maple is an award-winning, multidisciplinary artist known for bold artworks that challenge notions of identity. Her work spans a variety of media such as performance, painting, collage and photography. 

Much of Maple’s inspiration originates from her mixed religious and cultural upbringing as a British-Punjabi. She graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Kingston University and has exhibited her work internationally at galleries and institutions including Tate Britain, Golden Thread Gallery and York Art Gallery. 

In 2019, Sarah was selected for Syllabus V, an independent learning programme run by Wysing Arts Centre. In 2020, she created a semi-autobiographical video work in the style of a sitcom which debuted on Sky Arts. Her recent commissions include The Decolonising Institute at UAL, New Art Exchange and Fondazione Imago Mundi. Her work is in collections including Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Soho House and The Hyman Collection. Sarah lives and works in Sussex.

Contemporary Art Academy invites leading artists, curators, art critics, gallerists and collectors to discuss their life in art, followed by a Q&A.
