Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a weathered and rusted metal box or cabinet encased in a vibrant red and black tartan fabric frame. The composition emphasizes the interplay of textures and materials, juxtaposing the industrial, aged quality of the metal with the softness and pattern of the fabric. The overall impression is one of decay and disrepair, yet the bold colors and framing suggest a deliberate and intentional artistic approach. The work likely comments on themes of impermanence, the passage of time, and the intersection of the natural and man-made world. The artist's intention may be to challenge the viewer's perception of ordinary objects and materials through this unique sculptural assemblage. ...

Artist
Erwan Sene
B.1991

Repurposing discarded everyday materials such as wood, steel, fabric and aluminium, sculptor Erwan Sene binds these materials using bright paints, weaving oddly familiar domestic scenes or conceiving completely unrecognisable, otherworldly forms. Cabinets are taken apart and reborn as miniature model homes. The engineering of objects is revealed as they are turned inside out, softened with draped fabric, or their surfaces softly spray painted. His work as a musician undoubtedly feeds his sculptures, giving them accents and flows, mimicking melodies, or discordant rhythms. In a heady oeuvre, Sene brings together technical aspects of Surrealism and Dada, merging these influences with a Baroque theatricality to create forms drenched in a sense of the uncanny and dystopia. Sene cites his interest in science fiction, which can readily be seen in the neon hues and supernatural structures of his pieces. Other topics regularly explored in his practice include contamination, idiopathy and digital cultures. ...

Balice Hertling
Paris, Paris

Balice Hertling was founded in 2007 by Daniele Balice and Alexander Hertling. Balice Hertling has hosted the debut solo shows of many artists like Camille Blatrix, Xinyi Cheng and Isabelle Cornaro—all of whom have gone on to earn widespread recognition. From 2012 to 2016, gallery founders Daniele Balice and Alexander Hertling operated a project space in Manhattan. Returning to France in 2017, they relocated the main gallery to Paris’ Marais district and transformed the former Belleville location into a space for curated projects and shows by younger artists. Indeed, many artists represented by the gallery exemplify unique subcommunities of the emergent art world. This breadth of representation also translates to a breadth of medium, as the gallery represents painters as well as artists working in mixed media such as film, performance and sculptural objects. The gallery also represents artists whose careers are more established : British conceptual artist Stephen Willats, Syrian-born painter and sculptor Simone Fattal, and Italian artist Enzo Cucchi. In its programming and practices, Balice Hertling constantly works toward creating a more diverse and equitable art landscape. In this spirit, the gallery is proud to represent the Estate of Behjat Sadr, who was the first woman artist to be recognized as a modern master in Iran. As a result of the pandemic, the gallery co-founded « Palai » in the summer of 2021, a yearly exhibition hosting a small group of galleries from around the world, in historic locations in Lecce, a city in Italy's Puglia region. Palai is neither a curated exhibition nor a fair, it is thought to be a version of a residency, a collegial collaboration, where artists, galleries, and friends of the art world come together. In 2021 Balice Hertling relocated and brought closer both spaces in the Marais with a new main space inaugurated by a Ser Serpas scultpure solo show, and a new showroom and project space on rue de Montmorency. ...
