About this artwork

A figure sits on a bed, gazing toward the light. The scene alludes to the story of Danae, the Greek myth of a woman visited by a beam of light after her father forbade her marriage. Cool light casts subtle shadows, while a brightly colored camisole introduces a passionate slash of color. Her face remains unseen, as if concealing her reaction from the viewer, and her posture conveys a blend of fear and desire. The work features artist John Kelly’s long-time model, Ninon.
