The Celestial Eye

ABOUT THE WORK

Enclosed within the tight concentric coils of a labyrinth, the wanderer searches for direction. Hovering quietly above sits an unmoving disc of pure gold: the clarity of higher awareness, waiting patiently while the human mind exhausts itself.

CURATORIAL & TACTILE PROFILE

Part of 'The Codex Suite', an exclusive 16-piece cyclical investigation into human endurance and archaic memory by Milan-based artist Ghanem Hassan. Contrasting heavy raw impasto against genuine - gold leaf, the composition changes dynamically under changing ambient light, commanding presence as a museum-grade focal point in modern architectural spaces.
