"Ghanem Hassan’s 'Golden Enigma,' developed during the Artbridger residency and shown in 'The True Value of Art,' explores the interplay between contrasting materials and textures. I see this work as an example of material investigation and controlled composition. 'Golden Enigma' invites consideration of the relationships between surface, depth, and light."
"Golden Enigma" contrasts a dominant vertical element of gold leaf against a darkly textured background. The gold presents a complex surface, marked with varied tones and subtle fractures. The surrounding field is built from layered applications of dark paint, creating depth. The piece uses light and shadow to create a sense of visual tension.
