Oil on stretched canvas, adorned with genuine gold, silver, and copper leaf, An Invitation Addressed to Perseus reframes classical mythology through a feminist lens. Jo Gamel renders Medusa not as vanquished threat but as sovereign icon—composed, luminous, and impervious to the hero’s charge. Conflating baroque excess with symbolic restraint, the work evokes themes of agency, mythic inheritance, and the aesthetics of power.
