James Cohan is delighted to announce the representation of Charlotte Edey, in collaboration with Ginny on Frederick and Sea View. Currently on view at James Cohan's 52 Walker space is Charlotte's first New York solo presentation, Corner/Fold, up through February 14.
Charlotte Edey is a British artist (b.1992, Manchester) based in London. Edey’s multimedia works depict dreamlike worlds that explore architectures of the interior, both bodily and domestic. Edey combines pastel, embroidery, beadwork, stained glass, and woodworking to pull viewers through spatial and psychological scenes that are immersive and illusive. The artist creates transfixing hybrid surfaces that shimmer and shift with changing light, imbuing her compositions with a slippery, fragmentary quality. Magical realism is rearticulated as an aesthetic device to mine the uncanny similarities between ourselves and our built environment. Historically gendered mediums like embroidery and weaving become, in Edey’s hands, powerful vehicles for reconciling divisions between the metaphysical and material, the internal and external.
Recent solo and duo shows include Corner/Fold at James Cohan (2026), Thin Places at Frieze London with Ginny on Frederick (2024), All Words Are Written In Water at Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles, CA (2024), The Inexpressible Is Contained at Sea View, Los Angeles, CA (2024).
