Sarah Morris

Sarah Morris (born 1967 in Sevenoaks, Kent, UK) is a British-American artist based in New York and working internationally. She creates bold abstract paintings and evocative films that respond to the architecture, energy and psychology of modern cities. Morris’s paintings often use glossy house-paint to produce vivid geometric patterns inspired by facades, windows and urban grids. Her films explore the hidden narratives and power dynamics embedded in metropolitan life — from skyscrapers to hotel lobbies to corporate spaces. Through her dual practice of painting and cinema, Morris transforms urban environments into visually rich systems, inviting reflection on space, identity and modernity.
