Alison Blickle's "MEDUSA."

Currently on view at Kravets Wehby in New York City until December 21st, 2022 is artist Alison Blickle's spectacular solo exhibition, "MEDUSA."

In her latest body of work, Blickle reclaims ancient myths reimagining them in modern-day LA. Blickle's Medusa lives with her sisters in a house in the Hills that once belonged to Hollywood Sweetheart, Cary Grant. The sisters throw parties and perform rituals turning toxic dudes to stone. They started raving after Blickle's Medusa is gifted with a head of snakes and coagulating stare that only affects men. The insta-ready sisters celebrate this new ability and form stronger bonds while seeking revenge together.

Mirrors in the paintings with Blickle's reflection allude to Jan Van Eyck's appearance in Arnolfini Portrait. Our modern mirrors are phones, another character in the post-ceremony scenes. In the story, Perseus defeated Medusa's gaze with a mirror and keeps her stone head as a trophy. In Blickle's version, the sisters dance around the stone head of Perseus and boast of their victory through selfies.
