Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking contemporary artwork features a minimalist, monochromatic composition. The visual elements consist of simple, organic shapes and lines in black against a neutral background, creating a stark and understated aesthetic. The subject matter depicts two abstracted, tree-like forms that appear to be reaching upwards, with a small, illuminated object suspended above them. The artistic style and technique convey a sense of fragility and ethereal tension through the delicate, wire-like structures. The work's context likely explores themes of nature, growth, and the human condition, inviting the viewer to ponder the symbolic relationship between the 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. ...
