Grace Tobin is a contemporary American painter, who has spent the last few years working in London. Through her works, Tobin investigates our relationships to the environments we inhabit and the way these connections impact our sense of self. Her practice circles the idea of space, documenting the physical and emotional impact it has on forming our identity.

Through her dream-like state of the work pared with graphic stylisation and repetitive patterns, Tobin questions the ways in which our environments display an inner narrative. This style and approach mirror the themes of imperfection and repetition in our lives and routines. She is particularly interested in how physical objects can build and hold emotional value over time to embody memories and a sense of self.  What and how these objects and spaces are composed can tell us much about a personal state of being.
