Tiffany-Annabelle and Laetitzia Campbell at London Art Fair, Business Design Centre, Islington 20 - 26 January, 2026
Ed Cross is excited to present two rising star artists at London Art Fair's prestigious PLATFORM curated by Dr Ferren Gipson.
Laetitzia Campbell (b. 1996, Paris) recently swapped her Paris career in the high-end fashion world to deote herself soley to her textile-based art practice , in London. Having pursued embroidery development at major fashion houses, including Saint Laurent and Hermès, Campbell, who has a BA in Fine Art from Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam now uses this technical repertoire exclusively in her own work exploring questions of memory and home in her distinctive style that is at once precise and intricate yet free and spontaneous , where threads suggest thoughts, emotions connections.
This presentation at London Art Fair follows her highly successful first solo exhibition with Ed Cross Fine Art and will be succeeded by her first public show On your way home, what did you find? at David Parr House in Cambridge opening February as well as group shows at Paul Smith Gallery, London and Andelli Art in Somerset in early 2026.
Campbell, who is French-British and of Jamaican heritage, uses the sewing machine as a drawing tool to create images that float in spaces of ambiguity, between the past and present, figuration and abstraction, alienation and belonging. New work will be unveiled at the London Art Fair, in which Campbell expands on her vocabulary of natural motifs including a new series of "bouquet" works in colour.
Tiffany-Annabelle (b. 1989, London) is a British Nigerian artist who now divides her time between Lagos and London. After graduating with a UK Law Degree, and then working in magazine publishing in London, she began a successful art career in Lagos during the pandemic. PLATFORM will be her first London exhibition and will feature new works from her acclaimed Women in Bloom Series. This follows on from her participation in the inaugural residency at El Anatsui Studio, Ghana (works from this will be showcased in London in 2026).
The Women in Bloom series takes inspiration from the vivid flora native to the artist's Itsekiri region in Niger Delta, Nigeria . By staging the female nude amongst lush arrangements of hibiscus, African orchids and frangipani, Tiffany-Annabelle constructs metaphors of identity and renewal that depict womanhood as a space of "radical optimism". Working in oil pastel, charcoal and acrylic paint the body of work on display at the fair all use brown postal envelopes as their support, her paintings can be seen as love letters celebrating the joy of femininity.
