About The Artwork

abstract painting on the strata of the cliffs of the Pays de Caux in Normandy. In these strata a path, a passage is drawn... A real subject of inspiration for the artist. The country house of Veules les Roses has often led him to rub shoulders with these forces of nature overlooking the sea, standing out at times, letting new sides appear, new lines. The variations of white and gray concentrate all the energy contained in nature, in a play of perspectives and lights where the line fades in favor of the general atmosphere of the canvas. The canvas is framed with a black American frame.

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.
