Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a minimalist black-and-white composition that emphasizes the interplay of form and negative space. Prominent geometric shapes, including long, slender rods and an abstract, flame-like motif, create a sense of dynamism and visual tension. The clean, industrial materials and sleek design suggest a modernist approach to sculpture, highlighting the artist's mastery of balance and proportion. The piece likely explores themes of energy, motion, and the elemental forces of nature, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay between the physical and the metaphysical. ...

Artist

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. 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. ...
