"White Grounds (black belt)" by Mandy El-Sayegh is a mixed media composition that combines oil painting, silkscreen printing, and collage on linen to create a layered, textured surface. The work exemplifies El-Sayegh's practice of merging gestural abstraction with documentary materials, often incorporating imagery and text that reference political and social contexts. The interplay between the white ground and the black belt element creates visual tension while the varied technical processes invite multiple readings of the work's formal and conceptual dimensions.
