An artist who was found dead after going missing in Camden has been described as a “terrific student” and a “loss to everyone”.

More tributes are pouring in after a body was found during the search for Sarah Cunningham, who was last seen at Jamestown Road in Camden Town at about 3am on November 2.

On Monday (November 4), a body was found at the tracks of Chalk Farm station at 1.11am and although the body is yet to be formally identified, Ms Cunningham’s family have been informed of the development.

John Atkin, who taught the 31-year-old during her studies at Loughborough University, said: “Very tragic news about Sarah Cunningham. She was a terrific student and her death at the age of only 31 is a loss to everyone.

“Our very sincere condolences go to her family and friends at a time when her work was becoming meteoric through Lisson Gallery.

“RIP Sarah, you will always be a star.”

Alex Young, who knows the artist, said: “Nottingham has lost an incredibly talented and heartwarming woman. My condolences to her family.”

Ian Russel said: “RIP Sarah Cunningham I only met you a few times but you seemed like a really nice girl, my hearts breaking a little for your family, I hope they realise how respected you were in the Nottingham creative community.”

The Nottingham-born artist studied fine art at Loughborough University from 2012 to 2015 before completing a masters in painting at the Royal College of Art between 2019 and 2022.

She had her work exhibited all over the world including Berlin, Los Angeles, Aspen and Vancouver.

The Lisson Gallery, near Edgware Road, had exhibited much of her work and helped share the missing appeal.

Describing her work, the gallery said: “Throughout this exhibition, Cunningham explores aerial and bodily movements, flipping directions and orientations until reaching that moment when verticality and horizontality shift or tilt beyond recognition – when up becomes down, or left suddenly turns right.”

A Met Police spokesperson said: “While we await formal identification, Sarah’s family have been informed of this development.

“They have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time.”

The artist's death is being treated as unexpected, but is not thought to be suspicious at this time. Officers from the Met are working with the British Transport Police to look into the circumstances.
