Elizabeth Xi Bauer 'Our Place in These Worlds' EXB Exmouth Market, Private View 20th August

Founded in 2015, Elizabeth Xi Bauer began as an innovative online platform accompanied by pop-up exhibitions. In 2021, as the UK was exiting lockdown restrictions, the gallery took on the challenge of opening a permanent space in South-East London. Since then, in addition to an exhibition programme, Elizabeth Xi Bauer has collaborated on projects with international institutions, curators, and arti

sts across São Paulo, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Lisbon. In 2025, to mark its tenth anniversary, Elizabeth Xi Bauer opened a second gallery space in London’s vibrant Exmouth Market, in Clerkenwell. Expanding from its original home in Deptford, this new location furthered the gallery’s mission to foster cutting-edge contemporary art and support both emerging and established artists on a global stage. Elizabeth Xi Bauer Deptford offers a residency programme, for national and international artists to develop their practice. The studio allows artists the opportunity to work in proximity to where their art will later be exhibited, giving them creative freedom to experiment with new materials and ideas.

'Our Place in These Worlds', at Elizabeth Xi Bauer, brings together the work of Esvin Alarcón Lam, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín and Simón Vega for the third installment of their touring exhibition.

"I think there’s poetry in these works, some humour as well. There’s also a strong sense of belonging, of understanding ourselves not as separate from our land but rather as products of the earth, the sea, the lake, and the metropolis, of the transplantation that took place in history, and our own personal stories that brought us to where we are. The colours, materials and dynamics of our surroundings all make their way into our ideas and work. We are talking about what it means to be fruits of these lands, of the places we call home."

Curated by Maria do Carmo M. P. de Pontes.

‘Our Place in These Worlds’, at Elizabeth Xi Bauer, is an artist-led touring exhibition featuring works by Esvin Alarcón Lam, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín, and Simón Vega.

Curated by Maria do Carmo M. P. de Pontes, the show is shaped through non-hierarchical collaboration and takes a collective, non-authoritarian approach centred on exchange.

Challenging dominant Eurocentric ideas of belonging, ‘Our Place in These Worlds’ engages with histories of colonisation and migration while resisting exoticisation and fixed notions of identity, opening space for shifting perspectives.

Elizabeth Xi Bauer is delighted to announce the representation of London-based artist Saint Takyi.

Takyi's multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, drawing and writing, constructing speculative worlds where mythology, spirituality and identity converge. Elizabeth Xi Bauer first presented Takyi's work in the duo exhibition, ‘Two Shores’, alongside Brazilian artist Ivan Moraes. Their representation marks a natural continuation of this relationship as the gallery supports the next chapter of the artist's practice through exhibitions, international opportunities and long-term development.



Alongside their representation, EXB’s Deptford Studio welcomes Saint Takyi for a summer residency. Takyi is currently undertaking their time in the studio as a site for experimentation, allowing ideas initiated in ‘Two Shores’ to unfold into an ambitious new body of work. The residency has enabled the artist to work on a larger scale while expanding the conceptual and material language of their paintings through sustained research, observation and making.

Elizabeth Xi Bauer looks forward to presenting Takyi’s work in the 2027 exhibition programme as their practice continues to evolve within the EXB residency.

Final days to see Thiago Barbalho and Lidia Lisbôa in ‘Hand in Hand’, which closes this weekend, Sunday 9th August, 6pm.

Barbalho exhibits large-scale compositions made in his signature style of drawing, alongside smaller dune drawings that are part of a larger ongoing series he has been creating for a few years now. The undulation that characterises these works nod to Lidia Lisbôa’s signature aesthetic of repetition and accumulation.

Elizabeth Xi Bauer’s Exmouth Market exhibition, ‘Hand in Hand’, features Brazilian artists Lidia Lisbôa and Thiago Barbalho.

“The series on paper is called ‘Correntes’ (Chains). There is a certain physical resemblance between these works and the termite mounds, but Correntes is really about chains and connections. It comes from my relationship with crochet and from thinking about how one element links to another, creating structures that are both fragile and strong.”
- Lidia Lisbôa

Thiago Barbalho discusses his duo exhibition, ‘Hand in Hand’, currently on display at Elizabeth Xi Bauer, Exmouth Market.

“I spend so much time doing each [work] that I have to go through many feelings, many themes, many ideas. And that’s the meaning and the strength of them; it’s the accumulation of everything.”
- Thiago Barbalho

‘Hand in Hand’ at Elizabeth Xi Bauer, Exmouth Market, foregrounds artisanal techniques as considered and relevant forms of production.

“There is something that is very present in the drawings, that is, a sense of violence, a sense of fragmentation. And this is present through many, many other things in the works, so when I came to the [sculptures] I wanted to bring this more, to focus on the fragmentation and the violence itself. So, I would bring the gesture of holding hands, but it's still like these cut out arms in a way that looks more violent, more bizarre ... it brings this meaning of these two human bodies getting through some violent experiences, but it's still bringing together the strength of being together.” - Thiago Barbalho

Lidia Lisbôa and Thiago Barbalho’s duo exhibition ‘Hand in Hand’ continues until 9th August at Elizabeth Xi Bauer, Exmouth Market.

“Many of my works refer to female organs and to the female body. For me, these forms are a way of speaking about the importance of women, their strength, and their ability to nurture, create, and sustain life. Through these works, I hope to encourage reflection on care, ancestry, motherhood, and the essential role that women play in the world.”
- Lidia Lisbôa
