Artworks by Madison Hope Reid

Through a feminist lens, my work explores the tension between intimacy, perception, and identity within contemporary culture. Employing fragmentation and gestural painting, I examine the psychological and emotional dissonance that emerges between the self, the body, and the ideals projected onto it.

Fundamentally autobiographical, my practice navigates themes of longing, projection, vulnerability, and power. A perdurable sense of alienation and disillusionment has led me to turn a mirror toward both the male gaze and myself, speaking unapologetically through lived experience.
