"Medusa" by Florida in Art
2024-10-17 | Lobby Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
This art exhibition explores the rich and multifaceted narratives of Medusa, a mythical feminine figure whose story has been told and retold through the ages.
The myth of Medusa is a tapestry of tragedy, transformation, and power. Artists have been encouraged to delve into this complex myth and present their unique interpretations, whether Medusa symbolizes victimhood, empowerment, or something entirely different.
Artists interpret a broader dialogue about the influence of myth and art on Western culture and challenge the boundaries of traditional interpretations, a conversation starter. We are inviting viewers to reconsider Medusa’s story via diverse artistic lenses.
