Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a minimalist composition of sketchy lines and simple shapes in a muted, earthy palette. Circles and circles-in-progress are scattered across the page, connected by a network of intersecting lines and scribblings. The handwritten text, though indistinct, adds a personal, emotive quality to the piece. The overall style suggests a meditative, introspective exploration of form, symbolism, and the process of creation. This abstract work appears to delve into themes of interconnectedness, self-reflection, and the fundamental elements of artistic expression. ...

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. ...
