Mohamed Abouelnaga     Mohamed Abouelnaga's artworks are like encrusted jewels: ornate, gilded, and dense with time and mystery. Dedicated and prolific, Mohamed creates his lavish pieces resourcing endless materials and textures, creating collages referencing personal and powerful historic imagery, in awe of his Egyptian legacy. His Gold Circle series is a luxuriant sequence of shimmering photographic montages, of luminous pharaohs and divine figures, captured in sublime orbs shining like the sun. —D.N.
