"Introspect situates Gordon within a rising generation of contemporary painters addressing mental health not as theme alone, but as lived condition. For Gordon, painting operates as a form of reckoning and repair, aligning her practice with a broader cultural dialogue around the therapeutic dimensions of making and experiencing art.
Dark palettes and ornamental surfaces become psychological space – Gordon draws from European art history, fusing the theatrical intensity of the Italian Baroque with the romantic symbolism of the Pre-Raphaelite Movement. The result is a visual language that moves between waking life and dream state, between interior monologue and staged tableau."
