ABOUT THE ARTWORK

An almost black picture but nonetheless filled with light. A tribute to Soulages but the treatment is very different. Some subtle appearances of the red ocher color are scattered here and there creating all the relief of the books. The subject here, books, is refined as much as possible to keep only a graphic construction in monochrome where the material and the nuances will let guess the books. Abstraction of black books in oil on canvas in a library. A small white touch at the bottom right attracts the eye of the spectator, it comes as an intrigue... Indirect lighting will highlight the relief of the material. This canvas would be ideal in a refined interior and on a white wall. Libraries series. The edges of the board are painted Give it time to dry out a bit more until November 20, 2022

Sophie Dumont, a professional painter based in Normandy, is celebrated for her oil paintings where texture and light intertwine in a harmonious dance of color and depth. With an international career, she exhibits in prestigious galleries, and her works are collected worldwide, particularly in the United States, where her reputation continues to rise. Her artistic universe explores timeless themes such as memory, inner landscapes, and the architecture of the imagination. Combining traditional techniques with contemporary explorations, she masterfully uses palette knives and layered glazes to create unique effects of depth and luminosity. Each canvas becomes a world of its own, where light seems to emerge from within the material. Inspired by the seascapes of her native Normandy, as well as by intimate artist studios and imaginary libraries, she transforms these settings into poetic and timeless realms. Her structured yet vibrant compositions reflect a constant search for balance between reality and emotion. Widely exhibited in international art fairs, museums, and renowned galleries, Sophie Dumont has established a style that is both powerful and refined. Her artworks, rich in history and sensitivity, invite viewers to pause, reflect, and escape into her evocative visual narratives.
