Ingleby's Feast Room Showcases Chilean Painter Sebastián Espejo During Edinburgh Art Festival
Ingleby gallery will showcase a new 'Instalment' by Chilean artist Sebastián Espejo during the 2026 Edinburgh Art Festival. Espejo's studio, situated on the outskirts of an industrial area in Northeast London, stands in stark contrast to its environment, surrounded by former bakeries and a recycling facility. It radiates warmth, filled with the scent of cedar, the melodies of Tropicália, and the flavors of nuts and dark chocolate figs served in a traditional Chilean basket. Offering herbal tea and inviting guests to sit, Espejo creates a sanctuary amidst London's hustle. His studio brims with items he refers to as 'loyal companions,' describing them as 'characters in a miniature theatre of light.' This exhibition is part of Ingleby’s continuing 'Instalment' series.
