Libraries

The theme of libraries sums up his approach, which evolves between figuration and abstraction.

"Clind'oeil" est une œuvre de l'artiste Sophie Dumont,mesurant 100 x 100 cm, encadrée dans des dimensions de 107 x 107 cm, cette pièce saisissante invite le spectateur à plonger dans un univers riche en couleurs et en textures.

L'huile sur toile est le médium choisi par l'artiste pour donner vie à cette bibliothèque débordante d'énergie. Les couleurs vives et audacieuses attirent l'attention, évoquant l'atmosphère animée et effervescente de Drouot. Mais ce qui rend cette pièce véritablement captivante, ce sont les collages subtils qui parsèment la toile, ajoutant une dimension tactile et une profondeur supplémentaire à l'œuvre.

La matière est d'une importance primordiale dans "Clind'oeil". Sophie Dumont utilise une technique méticuleuse de superposition de couches d'huile pour créer une surface texturée et complexe. Chaque coup de pinceau semble être imprégné de l'excitation palpable de l'environnement de Drouot, capturant ainsi non seulement l'apparence, mais aussi l'essence même de ce lieu emblématique.

"Ondes Littéraires" de Sophie Dumont offre une exploration captivante de la convergence entre la littérature et les arts plastiques. La toile présente une bibliothèque aux livres colorés, peints à l'huile et au couteau, où le livre devient moins un objet quotidien qu'une évocation profonde de la culture. L'œuvre transcende la représentation traditionnelle de la bibliothèque en incorporant une dimension abstraite et géométrique, tout en maintenant la présence tangible des livres.

Through a pile of books, she explores the wealth of knowledge, playing with the contrasts between a half-black and half-yellow background.
