ABOUT:

Alanah Sarginson (b. 2000, Cambridge) is a digital illustrator and artist based who spends her days between London and Hertfordshire, exploring the symbols, rituals and representation of both movement and stillness.

Drawing on daily routines and symbolic portals — from doors and windows to staircases and books — her art navigates themes of subjectivity and the search for order amidst life’s contradictions. Architectural elements are juxtaposed by shifting organic forms like water and clouds, capturing a harmonious blend of minimalism and expressiveness as viewers are guided through a meditative journey of time and space. Her early career saw the influences of the visual world in which she inhabited growing up in the 2010s - from tattoo art on Tumblr to post-internet artists and contemporary illustrators like Manjitt Thapp and George Greaves, found through archive-building process of the Instagram feed.
In 2024, Alanah began her career in dealing contemporary art, where she brings her creative background in illustration and marketing to the art market. In this time, she has taken some time to reflect on her own art practice - what artist she wants to be, who her art is to speak to, and how best to speak it.

Alanah’s editorial work has appeared in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and The Atlantic, and she has had her own artist feature in It’s Nice That. With her prints sold at the online gallery Terra Cotta Prints and with exhibitions across London, Alanah is part of a new wave of digital artists, skilfully balancing multiple creative pursuits alongside her professional career.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
