A Woman Is A Changeling (2026) Original Oil Painting by Madison Hope Reid

76.2 x 101.6 x 2.54cm (unframed)

£1,231.29

Drawing from a photograph the artist once sent to a former lover, A Woman Is a Changeling considers the ways desire reshapes identity. Rendered in warm, gestural reds and shadowed forms, the figure hovers between seduction and self-preservation, never fully settling into either.

A single arrow lodged in the abdomen quietly recalls the iconography of Saint Sebastian, reframing romantic vulnerability as a contemporary act of martyrdom. Equal parts sincere and tongue-in-cheek, the work reflects on the small sacrifices, reinventions, and quiet injuries accumulated in the pursuit of love, asking how much of oneself can be offered before the performance of intimacy begins to eclipse the self.

From the series "Deny Me And Be Doomed"
