Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This minimal, abstract artwork features a sparse composition with simple shapes and gestural lines. The predominant colors are black, red, and a neutral off-white background. The loose, expressive marks evoke a sense of spontaneity and fluidity, while the asymmetrical placement of the elements creates a sense of balance and visual interest. The artist's intentionally rudimentary style and the use of unconventional materials like charcoal or crayon suggest a focus on the raw, unfinished quality of the creative process itself, rather than a polished final product. This piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of the interplay between positive and negative space, as well as the emotive power of abstract forms. ...
Born in Tehran (Iran) in 1994, Armineh Negahdari lives in Bordeaux (France).

We founded Marcelle Alix in 2009 in Paris and settled in a characteristic, early 20th-century boutique in Belleville. The gallery is for us a creative space, where the dialog with artists is not only meant to selling artworks, but is also based on an equal relationship to creativity. We now represents thirteen artists and two duos. Our identity has been built with the support of the artists who opened our programme (Aurélien Froment, Louise Hervé & Clovis Maillet, Charlotte Moth, Ernesto Sartori, Marie Voignier) and those we introduced to the French art scene (Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz, Ian Kiaer, Donna Gottschalk). During these years, we have supported broad artistic careers (Laura Lamiel, Liz Magor and Mira Schor whose work we represent exclusively in Europe) and accompanied the development of new perspectives in sculpture (Gyan Panchal, Jean-Charles de Quillacq) in video (Lola Gonzàlez), and in drawing (Armineh Negahdari). Our gallery has been a pioneer in defining a space for queer art in France : in addition to showing her work within the artist duo Boudry/Lorenz since 2011, we have directed the translation into French of Renate Lorenz's 2012 seminal book, « Queer Art » in 2018. Since 2019, we have exhibited photographs by Donna Gottschalk documenting the lives of women living with women who were involved in the lesbian movement in the United States in the 1970s. In 2023 we organised an exhibition for the Utopi.e award—first award in France for Lgbtqi+ art—for which we have invited Paris galleries Air de Paris and Sultana as fellow participants. We insist on the central role of a gallery in the ecosystem of art as a place to make idiosyncratic positions visible and weave a critical narrative around the most contemporary visual forms. ...
