The Exchange Of Small Gifts

London-based artist Elspeth Vince explores the fine line between comfort and discomfort, and the relationship between mind and body through her reflective and captivating paintings of the female figure. In The Exchange Of Small Gifts, Vince uses self-portraiture to explore the relationship our “inner” and “outer” worlds have with each other. Through reflective and almost melancholic images, she encourages us to ponder questions of belonging, connection, morality, and purpose. It prompts us to confront the subtleties of our existence and invites us to engage in a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
