Sarah Kogan
Artist
Sarah Kogan works as an artist and educator from her studio in the East End
of London. Her work forms part of numerous private and corporate collections
and paintings of the obliteration of Passchendaele have been exhibited
extensively. Personal stories and narrative have been a recurrent theme, with
the use of imagined journeys and the psychological abstract nature of
landscape at its heart. In addition, she is a lecturer on the groundbreaking Art
of Psychiatry undergraduate module in conjunction with the Bethlem Royal
Hospital and the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and a
contributor to Image-Movement-Story International Symposium hosted by the
Practice as Research Group at Roehampton University in June 2014.
Currently, she is developing Changing the Landscape, her Arts Council of
England and National Lottery funded multimedia arts project to mark the
centenary of The Battle of the Somme in 2016. The project interprets the
archive of her great uncle, Rifleman Barney Griew, a mapmaker who died on
the first day of The Battle of the Somme. You can view Changing the Landscape’s website: http://www.changing-the-landscape.com
