For Frieze London 2026, Bolanle Contemporary presented a solo presentation by Eilen Itzel do Espírito Santo, bringing together large-scale charcoal drawings on Amate paper, paintings and sculptures exploring ancestry, spirituality and transformation. Rooted in the artist’s Afro-Dominican heritage and her relationship with Ifá divination, the charcoal drawings unfold through intuitive, expressive mark-making. Recurring motifs of palm trees, palm nuts and organic forms evoke ideas of destiny, ancestral memory and spiritual protection. The textured surface of the Amate paper becomes integral to the work, connecting material, gesture and ritual. Sculptural works composed of soil, air-dried clay and twigs extend these ideas into three-dimensional form. Central to this body of work is the snail, a symbol associated with Obatala, the Yoruba Orisha of peace, purity and creation. Embodying patience, resilience and the gradual unfolding of destiny, the snail becomes a metaphor for spiritual guidance and transformation. The use of earthly materials evokes cycles of decay and regeneration, connecting the physical landscape to ancestral and spiritual knowledge. The booth was conceived as a womb-like environment, with soft pink walls and deep red carpeting evoking a sense of intimacy, protection and the origins of life. The cool, industrial finish of the aluminium frames and sculptural plinths introduced a deliberate contrast to the warmth of the space and the organic textures of the works. This balance between softness and structure, the natural and the industrial, created a contemporary setting for an exploration of ancestry, creation and spiritual transformation. @eilen.itzel selected by @fireleibaez for @friezeofficial artist to artist supported by @tiffanyandco. 20 Oct 2026

For The New York Times’ @tmagazine, I interviewed Eilen Itzel do Espírito Santo (@eilen.itzel) ahead of her solo show at Frieze London with @bolanlecontemporary The central theme of her new body of work is creation, an idea that took on several meanings for the artist this year. She made most of the pieces while pregnant with her first child. She also follows Ifá, a religion that originated with the Yoruba people of West Africa. Her beliefs, and specifically the cues she takes from the deity Obatala — known as the sculptor of humankind — inform the artist’s approach to her practice. Also inspired by the various places she’s called home and the Black diaspora more broadly, she says she is resisting what she describes as the tendency of the West to make certain communities invisible.

⭐ Museum Acquisition ⭐️ Bolanle Contemporary is delighted to announce that Eilen Itzel do Espírito Santo’s Ofun Irosun (2024) will enter the permanent collection of Pérez Art Museum Miami (@pamm). Central to do Espírito Santo’s practice is an exploration of spirituality, ancestral memory and the relationship between the material and immaterial worlds. Drawing upon her Afro-Dominican heritage and engagement with Ifá traditions, her work considers how spiritual knowledge is inherited, embodied and transmitted across generations. Ofun Irosun takes its title from the artist’s personal Odu within the Ifá divination system. The painting incorporates a visual language informed by sacred ritual and cosmology. Its constellation of dots references the binary divination system of the Opon Ifá, while other elements draw upon the Sefa ritual and Ikin Ifá. The palm tree evokes ancestry, spiritual knowledge and continuity. The painting will be presented at Frieze London 2026 as part of @eilen.itzel solo presentation with Bolanle Contemporary in the Artist-to-Artist section, following her nomination by Firelei Báez, before finding its permanent home at Pérez Art Museum Miami. Our thanks to Franklin Sirmans (@franklinsirmans) the support of Eilen’s practice, and to Joe Wemple for his generous support of the acquisition.

Earlier this summer I sat down with Harper’s Bazaar & Elle UK to speak about my upcoming solo presentation at Frieze London with Bolanle Contemporary. My participation in the fair comes from the nomination of Firelei Baez as part of Frieze London’s Artist-to-Artist section sponsored by @tiffanyandco (who’s jewelry I am wearing for this shoot). This section offers an introduction to the next generation, featuring seven solo presentations, each chosen by a leading international artist. By placing prominent artists in the role of the nominator, Artist-to-Artist invites them to champion the work of a peer they believe deserves wider recognition. Thank you @fireleibaez and @bolanle_tajudeen for supporting my participation in Frieze this year. Thank you @_adamajalloh for these beautiful portraits of me with baby girl in womb and thank you to @bazaaruk & @elleuk for these conversations. 💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨ 09 Oct 2026

‘I’m drawn to maximalism, and colour that really takes you there. But the root of a lot of my work is my Yoruba spiritual practice, Ifá. It’s an indigenous practice that’s over 10,000 years old and so a lot of my work will reference that, through its visual language, sacred beads or colour combinations' Eilen Itzel do Espírito Santo (@eilen.itzel) is one of Frieze London's most exciting rising artists – but that’s not the only thing she’s looking forward to this autumn. @naomialexandrapike meets her. Interview at the link in bio. 15 Oct 2026

A little something special ahead of our Frieze London debut. Enjoy this intimate glimpse into Eilen’s world. ❤️ Filmed at Eilen Itzel do Espírito Santo’s studio in Los Angeles and during her residency at Fountainhead Arts, Miami.

We’re so grateful for all the love and support following the news of our participation in Frieze London this year. Thank you. Our presentation will feature new work by Eilen Itzel do Espírito Santo as part of the Artist-to-Artist section, following her nomination by Firelei Báez. Eilen’s practice explores how individuals across the African diaspora and Latin America seek joy, purpose and destiny within and beyond colonial histories. Working across painting, drawing, installation and sculpture, she brings figuration and abstraction into close relation, creating spaces that move between the physical and the spiritual. Through recurring figures, symbols and saturated colour, her works trace community, ancestry and destiny through a visual language that is both intuitive and coded, rooted in communal memory and spiritual knowledge. We can’t wait to welcome friends, colleagues and supporters to London this October. See you in Regent’s Park. ✨ #FriezeLondon #BolanleContemporary #EilenItzelDoEspíritoSanto #ArtistToArtist #FireleiBáez Photo: Dan Burwood 13 Jun 2026

✨ FRIEZE MAGAZINE ✨ Sharing the Zeitgeist: ‘Artist-to-Artist’ 2026 “Through Artist-to-Artist, emerging practitioners are able to stage solo presentations during prime time. It also offers an opportunity to build communities and further personal development, foregrounding the importance of connection between peers as well as with established figures.” “The nominating artists come to the work of those they select through various forms of connection, some professional, some more personal. Speaking to Eilen Itzel do Espírito Santo about her nomination by Firelei Báez she recalls their first meeting at the latter’s exhibition opening at South London Gallery: ‘I thought: “She’ll probably be there and, even if she’s not, I want to see her work.”’ Itzel do Espírito Santo met Báez, her sister and her nephew, ‘and we really connected,’ she says. ‘We spoke about life – she’s from the same country as my family – she was asking me about living in London, and we were talking about her exhibition.’” I am so HONORED to participate in this section of @friezeofficial with @bolanlecontemporary! Thank you @fireleibaez 🇩🇴💖✨ 15 Oct 2026
