This exhibition showcases seven artists whose works engage with gold leaf and gold hues, each bringing a unique perspective to this timeless material. 

From the luminous iconography of ancient traditions, where gold signifies divinity and sanctity, to the innovative use of gold in modern sculpture and decorative art, this collection highlights the material’s enduring allure and versatility. Icon artists, whose work is steeped in religious symbolism, juxtapose with contemporary creators who employ gold for its aesthetic and sensory impact, demonstrating how gold’s symbolism has evolved yet remains powerful.

In All that Glitters, gold is not merely a color or a medium but a narrative thread that weaves together diverse artistic expressions, inviting viewers to reflect on the material’s historical importance and its ongoing role in shaping contemporary artistic dialogues.
