Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract ceramic sculpture features a striking interplay of earthy tones and rugged textures. The central form appears to be a distorted, asymmetrical shape with a distinctive, oversized golden cap-like element on top. The overall composition is visually compelling, with a sense of organic irregularity and a raw, unpolished aesthetic. The artist's technique likely involves a combination of molding, sculpting, and glazing to achieve this unique, expressive sculptural piece. The contextual background or the artist's intention behind this work may reflect themes of abstraction, materiality, or the exploration of the human form in a nontraditional, conceptual manner. ...

Simone Fattal
B.1925, Syrian

Simone Fattal's artworks are situated in a space that lies at the intersection of representation and abstraction. Her oeuvre encompasses a wide range of mediums, including watercolour paintings, collages, and sculptures made from clay and bronze. Drawing from a diverse array of themes, such as war and conflict, landscape painting, ancient religious traditions and mythologies, Sufi poetry, and the fragility of the human body, Fattal's clay work is marked by an exploration of non-figurative forms, serving as a reflection of her fascination with history and contemporary culture. After fleeing from the Civil War, she settled in California where she established the Post-Apollo Press, a publishing house devoted to innovative and experimental literary works. Fattal returned to art in 1988 and produced ceramic sculptures after attending the Art Institute of San Francisco. Through her work, she delves into the effects of displacement and migration, as well as the political dimensions of archaeology and excavation. Through the use of recurring symbols and forms, and judiciously incorporating detail to render her figures discernible, Fattal's works construct environments that feel as though they have briefly emerged from the depths of history and memory. ...

Balice Hertling
Gallery
Balice Hertling
Paris, Paris

Balice Hertling was founded in 2007 by Daniele Balice and Alexander Hertling. Balice Hertling has hosted the debut solo shows of many artists like Camille Blatrix, Xinyi Cheng and Isabelle Cornaro—all of whom have gone on to earn widespread recognition. From 2012 to 2016, gallery founders Daniele Balice and Alexander Hertling operated a project space in Manhattan. Returning to France in 2017, they relocated the main gallery to Paris’ Marais district and transformed the former Belleville location into a space for curated projects and shows by younger artists. Indeed, many artists represented by the gallery exemplify unique subcommunities of the emergent art world. This breadth of representation also translates to a breadth of medium, as the gallery represents painters as well as artists working in mixed media such as film, performance and sculptural objects. The gallery also represents artists whose careers are more established : British conceptual artist Stephen Willats, Syrian-born painter and sculptor Simone Fattal, and Italian artist Enzo Cucchi. In its programming and practices, Balice Hertling constantly works toward creating a more diverse and equitable art landscape. In this spirit, the gallery is proud to represent the Estate of Behjat Sadr, who was the first woman artist to be recognized as a modern master in Iran. As a result of the pandemic, the gallery co-founded « Palai » in the summer of 2021, a yearly exhibition hosting a small group of galleries from around the world, in historic locations in Lecce, a city in Italy's Puglia region. Palai is neither a curated exhibition nor a fair, it is thought to be a version of a residency, a collegial collaboration, where artists, galleries, and friends of the art world come together. In 2021 Balice Hertling relocated and brought closer both spaces in the Marais with a new main space inaugurated by a Ser Serpas scultpure solo show, and a new showroom and project space on rue de Montmorency. ...
