This highly anticipated show marks the return of celebrated illustrator and visual diarist Sara Midda. Her work ranges in character from delicate, watercolours to humorous, even surreal, pen and ink drawings.
The exhibition features a selection of over 300 original works, including watercolours, sketchbook pages, illustrations from her books and her work for Mitsukoshi, as well as pieces created over the last few years. This is a rare opportunity to acquire and view these unique pieces of work, many of which offer insight into Midda’s creative process.
Sara Midda has long been celebrated for her watercolour work, line work, and explorations of everyday life. Her observations of the natural world, gardens, objects, and ephemera – rendered with both precision and playfulness – evoke a world where beauty, wit and charm are found in the everyday.
Sara Midda – A Retrospective ran from 25 October to 15 November 2025 at Chris Beetles Gallery, 8 & 10 Ryder Street, London SW1 6QB
The catalogue is available both online and from Chris Beetles Gallery for £15
