New to ArtGrad from Loughborough University - Sarah Torr


Sarah Torr is a final year student at Loughborough University studying Fine Art.

Sarah’s current work focuses on exploring geometric form through contemporary architecture. Architecture has always interested her. She is particularly interested in the contrasts between strong powerful lines, soft curves and the restful spaces in-between. Concentrating on the repetition of print, using the silkscreen processes, Sarah explored this development of line and form within architecture. Silk-screening onto acetate allowed her to layer up prints to create a 3D effect.

Cata Ahlback is New to ArtGrad


As an artist, Cata pursues a way of expression which is extensive, critical, honest and true to herself. As she says, “I reach for the truth. I try to mediate a personal perception of truth in my art. Yet I am aware that it is nearly impossible to reach an absolute truth about life and being.”

She uses graphics, painting and installation in her art.
