COMA COLA

by Ghanem Hassan

This sculpture takes the familiar Coca-Cola logo and transforms it into "Coma Cola" to offer a creative commentary on modern society. The altered name symbolizes the mental slumber many experience, often driven by consumer culture, where people move through life without questioning their actions. The sculpture invites viewers to pause, reflect, and awaken from this state of autopilot living. Crafted from the durable Lebanese Oak, the sculpture symbolizes both strength and longevity, reflecting the enduring influence of Coca-Cola’s global presence. The piece’s intricate craftsmanship and vibrant hand-painted design amplify the message it carries, inviting people to rethink consumerism and embrace a more conscious existence.

Rust and Reverie

by Ghanem Hassan

This oil painting captures a close-up view of a rusted mechanical tool-an industrial fragment that might once have belonged to an old car or machine. The subject matter is rendered with a striking balance between realism and abstraction: the forms are recognizable, yet softened or distorted in places to invite interpretation beyond function. The palette is bold and contrasting-rich rusty browns and oranges suggest heat, wear, and time, while cool tones of deep blue and violet bring balance and atmosphere. The color tension evokes both warmth and detachment, metal and air, memory and structure. The piece invites viewers to see beauty in what is often overlooked.

  • Oil on canvas
  • 90.0 x 90.0 cm x 15.0 cm (35.43 x 35.43 in x 5.91 in)

USD 1,900
