Egyptian Bohemia in Christendom
Oil on circular panel with fluorescent “rosaille” underpainting
A starfish draped in jet beads reclines beside an orb of light on a gilded book, poised atop a florid Corinthian capital. In Egyptian Bohemia in Christendom, Jo Gamel weaves myth, mysticism, and marine relics into a devotional object—a radiant reflection on feminine self-possession, glamour, and ancestral ritual. The luminous “rosaille” underpainting and lacquered palette evoke a soft opulence, suggesting that care is both sacred inheritance and sovereign act.
