Maddy Gordon - Multidisciplinary artist working in Ontario, Canada
Maddy Gordon_Headshot.jpeg

Maddy creates unconventional self-portraits using graphite and charcoal to explore themes of femininity, body image, and self-discovery. Her work features organic, flowing forms that evoke movement, capturing how the body contorts within undefined, liminal spaces. Negative space is integral, emphasizing the body's shapes and contours. Each piece serves as a meditative reflection, expressing thoughts and emotions beyond any specific time or place.

Often depicting herself as something "other," Maddy invites viewers to form their own interpretations. Her art reflects both her personal journey and a broader human experience—seeking peace and belonging within one's body and the world.
