Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist artwork features a stark, monochromatic palette with a focus on simple geometric forms. The two identical wire sculptures, resembling stylized human figures, stand prominently against the clean, white walls, creating a sense of tension and balance. The use of negative space and the industrial materials contribute to the work's modern, abstract aesthetic. The artist's intention appears to be exploring themes of the human form, minimalism, and the interplay between positive and negative space within a minimalist, gallery-like setting. ...

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. ...
