Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork presents an abstract, geometric composition in a matte black hue. The prominent visual elements are the perforated patterns and sharp, angular shapes that create a striking, minimalist aesthetic. The subject matter appears to be an industrial or technological design, with the repetitive, grid-like structure suggesting a functional or utilitarian purpose. The artist has employed a reductive, sculptural approach, utilizing the interplay of light and shadow to accentuate the piece's three-dimensional qualities. This work likely reflects the designer's exploration of materiality, form, and the tension between the organic and the manufactured. ...

Julie Béna

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.
