Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist artwork features a stark contrast between light and shadow. The composition is dominated by two twisted, branch-like metal structures that rise from the ground, creating a striking silhouette against the plain white wall. The only source of illumination is a single, glowing light bulb that casts a warm, atmospheric glow. The overall impression is one of simplicity and a sense of tranquility, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay of form, light, and shadow. The artist's intention seems to be exploring the inherent beauty and symbolism found in everyday, ordinary objects and materials. ...

Artist

Julie Béna

B.1982

Julie Béna was born in 1982 in Paris, France, and currently lives and works between Prague and Paris. The work of Julie Béna is made up of an eclectic set of references, combining contemporary and ancient literature, high and low art, humor and seriousness, parallel times and spaces. Comprising sculpture, installation, film, and performance, her work seems to often float in an infinite vacuum, unfolding against a fictional backdrop where everything is possible. Over the past years, Béna has developed a range of personal cosmologies in which she stages seemingly banal characters and objects that have enigmatic conversations and interactions with each other. From Pantopon Rose – a character taken from William S. Burroughs’ ‘Naked Lunch’ –, to Miss None and Mister Peanut – a disembodied floating wig and the iconic monocled anthropomorphic peanut –, Béna lends her characters a singular agency and voice, which defines them by what they are not. ...
