Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a minimalist composition with a muted color palette. The central figure is depicted in a brown toned silhouette, standing alone in a barren landscape against a pale blue sky. The composition is balanced by a geometric yellow form in the background, contrasting with the fluid, wind-swept shape of the figure's robe. The style appears to be influenced by modernist and surrealist techniques, inviting the viewer to contemplate the solitary figure and its metaphorical implications. The overall tone suggests a contemplative, existential exploration of the human condition within a sparse, dreamlike setting. ...

Blending the style of traditional Landscape painting with abstraction, Julie Beaufils’ oil paintings capture the immense beauty of natural environments, crystallising their wonder through abstracted motifs. Rendering moments of elemental magic such as eclipses, sunsets or sunrises, each work is brought about through deep observation of a specific setting. Mountains, fauna, or horizons are translated into organic, abstract forms. Working in dreamy, muted tones, Beaufils disseminates naturally sourced ochre pigment into her other colours, imbuing the overall palette with an earthly quality. Traversing this sense of site-specificity with interest in the ephemeral, the works dip in and out of figuration and abstraction, leaning into our emotive relationship with nature. All at once deeply intimate and collectively understood, each canvas is grounded in a particular moment of time, a precise meeting between Beaufils and a beguiling habitat. Yet, through her sensitive selection of materials and concentrated shapes, each painting resonates with wider themes of empathy, interspecies connection and deep time. Existing in the space between experience and memory, her works act as archives of encounters, generously sharing this sense of awe with audiences. ...

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. ...
