Aylin Leipold is a multidisciplinary artist based in London whose practice spans sculpture, printmaking, painting, and installation. Working primarily with found images, texts, and objects, she reconfigures existing materials into new forms and contexts through processes of fragmentation, translation, and displacement. Distance, gaps, and interruptions play a central role in her work, shaping both its visual language and conceptual framework.

Leipold’s practice is closely concerned with different forms of loss — particularly the erosion of meaning or function that occurs through reproduction, repetition, and translation. By recontextualising familiar materials and allowing absences or ruptures to remain visible, her work examines how images and objects shift across cultural, linguistic, and material boundaries. Through this process, she creates works that feel simultaneously archival, unstable, and open-ended.

She completed a BFA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London (2022–2025).

Solo exhibitions include WEITER. at Obrat Galerija, Maribor, Slovenia (2025), and WEITER. at Galerija Alcatraz, Ljubljana, Slovenia (2026).

Selected group exhibitions include Racecar at Safehouse 1 and 2, London (2025); Porcelain at the Central Saint Martins Degree Show, London (2025); Hem at The Good Rice Gallery, London (2025); Rites and Renewal at Ethereal Maison Gallery, London (2025); Eden Transcends Reality at Pushkin House, London (2024); Interface at Somers Gallery, London (2024); WYF – Where You From? at Safehouse 1, London (2024); and We Sink and Settle on the Waves at Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, Zürich (2023).

In 2024, Leipold received a Highly Commended award for the Phoebe Llewelyn Smith Award.
