Cob Gallery is proud to present 'Like Lovers Do', the debut UK solo exhibition by American artist Katelyn Eichwald. Featuring new paintings on canvas, hessian, and linen, alongside a suite of collage on paper, this exhibition draws the viewer into a private, votive space—part shrine, part mirage—where the emotional architecture of adolescence flickers between memory and invention. Like the title borrowed from an Elias Rønnenfelt song, 'Like Lovers Do' is a reverie. Eichwald's paintings emerge from the thresholds of girlhood—not as biography or identity, but as atmosphere. They are emotional transcriptions of secrets folded into a diary, snapshots of yearning...

Featuring new paintings on canvas, hessian, and linen, alongside a suite of collage on paper, this exhibition draws the viewer into a private, votive space—part shrine, part mirage—where the emotional architecture of adolescence flickers between memory and invention. Like the title borrowed from an Elias Rønnenfelt song, 'Like Lovers Do' is a reverie.
Eichwald's paintings emerge from the thresholds of girlhood—not as biography or identity, but as atmosphere. They are emotional transcriptions of secrets folded into a diary, snapshots of yearning suspended between innocence and desire. Her works don’t reproduce stereotypes of youth so much as they replay the psychic theatre behind them: the bedroom, the fan magazine, the daydream. She conjures a world where romantic tropes become devotional objects, and private obsessions take on the lace of lingerie as much as the texture of myth.
