Katelyn Eichwald | Frieze London 2026
Cob presents a solo presentation of new paintings by Katelyn Eichwald for Frieze London 2026, bringing together works on linen and canvas that vary in size while remaining deliberately intimate in scale.
Materiality plays an important role in Eichwald’s practice, with the texture and character of her chosen surfaces shaping both the appearance and affect of her paintings. The works draw on recurring fragments of bodies, domestic interiors, tools, garments, landscapes and cinematic details, sourced from film, literature, memory and everyday observation.
The paintings appear almost like snapshots: fleeting, seemingly unconnected images whose relationships remain elusive. A body, landscape, garment or isolated object appears without explanation, as if recalled from a dream already beginning to dissolve. Operating through mood rather than narrative, these fragments feel at once intimate, familiar and difficult to place.
Through this attention to intimacy, perception and memory, Eichwald’s paintings reward close engagement over time. Bringing together a significant group of new works, the presentation offers a focused view of the distinctive language and sensibility underpinning her practice.
