"A Soft Holding"
A SOFT HOLDING is part of Emma Gurner's debut collection of self-portraits, representing a thoughtful evolution of her artistic practice. In this intimate composition, the artist explores themes of rest, vulnerability and self-reflection, inviting the viewer into a moment of quiet stillness.
Richly layered with Emma's signature use of colour, pattern and decorative interiors, the painting balances softness with structure. Cushions, textiles and botanical motifs create a protective domestic setting, echoing the emotional landscape of the portrait itself. The familiar interiors that have long informed Emma's work become more than a backdrop—they offer comfort, connection and a sense of belonging.
With its striking composition and contemplative atmosphere, A SOFT HOLDING reflects on the relationship between the self and the spaces we inhabit, where home becomes both a physical place and a source of emotional refuge.
One of only four original self-portraits in this landmark new series, A SOFT HOLDING offers collectors the opportunity to acquire a work from this significant new phase in Emma Gurner's evolving practice.
