"The Echo of Knowledge" by Sophie Dumont is a striking representation of a dynamic library, where colorful books are meticulously arranged. Executed in oil on canvas with a palette knife, this painting presents vibrant material and significant texture, achieved through layers of paint. Each book seems to come to life on the canvas, with vivid colors that immediately capture the viewer's eye. The artist employed the knife technique to apply the paint, thus creating bold strokes and marked contrasts between different areas of the composition.

France
Born in Paris on April 09, 1964. Lives and works in Langrune sur Mer (Normandy - FRANCE) Sophie Dumont moved away from the Metropolis to live a few years in the West Indies, Spain and finally in Morocco. She stores up a host of images and colors that she will carefully keep at the bottom of her memory. On her return to France in 1991, she took the plunge and grabbed the brushes. From her earliest childhood, she was immersed in the world of painting, through the drawings of Henriette Dumont, her paternal grandmother who draws at all times, children and grandchildren with a line that can recall that of Matisse . Sophie Dumont is interested in the history of art, works for several years, searches, discovers in order to fully realize herself around 2007. Its invoice becomes stronger, the layers multiply on the canvas, revealing a beach or cliffs to whoever wants to discover them. His work in oil takes on its full value in successive layers and transparencies in shades of gray and white. Sophie DUMONT extends her exploration of the Norman universe. The environment is familiar to her, but she probes with obstinacy the slightest vibrations. The omnipresent landscape hides from view to reveal furtive appearances that drown in the pearly and translucent light. The subliminal vision of a horizon cut out by distant cliffs evokes a daily life punctuated by a constantly changing space. Nothing disturbs the tranquility of a space shaped by these diaphanous lights, a mixture of grays and shadows that subtly play with the fluidities of air and water. These landscapes imbued with a lyricism bordering on abstraction seem to move away from a reality that the heaviness of traditional painting wants to find in the recognizable. The representation is irreversibly detached from the motif to better reflect the emotion aroused by the total immersion in the painting. The image fades before the senses, giving the viewer his freedom of interpretation. The addition in certain paintings of materials such as gauze reveals at the same time the permanent quest for new efforts. The hierarchy established in the canvas by different centers of interest reinforces the confrontation between matter and source of light.
