Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a minimalist composition with a striking contrast between the geometric shapes. The color palette is subdued, with shades of green, purple, and black providing a harmonious balance. The two sculptural elements resembling stingrays or rays are placed in a dynamic, asymmetrical arrangement, creating a sense of movement and tension within the frame. The overall aesthetic suggests a focus on form, material, and spatial relationships, characteristic of the contemporary sculptural style. The piece invites the viewer to contemplate the interplay between the organic and the geometric, and the subtle emotions evoked by the juxtaposition of the various elements. ...

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. ...
