Through October 19th
Artist’s House, 14 Manette Street, W1D 4AW
Just launched by London gallerist India Rose James (founder of Soho Revue), Echo Soho brings together a dozen women-led galleries and nearly all works by women artists. It is, as James put it, “just women coming together and celebrating art.”
Sophie Birch, Yolk, 2025
Presented by Alice Amati
Alice Amati dedicates her Echo presentation to Sophie Birch, the one English artist the London gallery has shown (she was featured in a two-person show at the gallery earlier this year). Birch’s canvases hum with vitality—wisps and washes of color seem to pulse and expand beyond the picture plane. Though Yolk (2025) may appear abstract at first, its title reveals its bodily origins: the glowing coral, soft peach, and streaks of crimson evoke the innards of an egg, a vessel of life.
Birch, who studies anatomy, often channels the invisible rhythms of living beings. As Amati explained, the artist often thinks about “things that contain other things,” whether a book or a body. The work isn’t meant to be framed, allowing its charge to emanate freely into space—a luminous reminder of energy’s endless potential.
