About the Item

Sophie Dumont's canvas, a testament to her artistic finesse, unfolds a captivating tableau of a library rendered in monochrome. The meticulous application of oil on canvas, coupled with subtle collage elements, transforms the ordinary into an extraordinary exploration of intellectual realms. The monochromatic palette, a symphony of subdued tones, breathes life into the library's contours. Dumont's deliberate strokes reveal the essence of her subject, portraying the quietude and reverence inherent to these bastions of knowledge. The interplay of light and shadow, expertly executed in oil, lends a timeless quality to the scene, as if frozen in a moment of intellectual contemplation. What sets Dumont's work apart is the strategic use of collage, adding an intriguing layer of complexity to the composition. The integration of mixed media introduces a tactile quality, inviting viewers to engage not only visually but also through the sense of touch, forging a unique connection with the artwork. The choice of a library as the subject matter is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Dumont captures the dichotomy of tradition and modernity, offering a visual dialogue between the tangible, tactile nature of books and the ephemeral, ever-evolving world of ideas. As the observer navigates the canvas, the careful observer will notice nuanced details—a worn edge, a faint imprint—all contributing to the overall narrative of intellectual exploration. Dumont's mastery lies not only in her technical proficiency but also in her ability to infuse a static image with the dynamic energy of human intellect. In conclusion, Sophie Dumont's monochromatic ode to libraries transcends the boundaries of conventional representation. Her skillful manipulation of oil and collage creates a work that invites contemplation, sparking a dialogue between the viewer and the profound significance of the library as a sanctuary for knowledge. Dumont's art not only captures a moment in time but also beckons us to delve into the timeless allure of literature and the boundless realms of human thought.

  • Deep Creek Seeps 10, Minimalist painting inspired by Agnes Martin New Mexico art
    By Johnnie Winona Ross
    Located in New York, NY
    Johnnie Winona Ross Deep Creek Seeps 10, 2007 Oil paint on acrylic base burnished on Belgian linen Signed twice, dated and titled on the verso; also bears the original Stephen Haller Gallery label\ Canvas is stretched against wooden backing but no outer frame This work was originally sold by the Stephen Haller Gallery which hosted several critically acclaimed, sell-out shows of New Mexico resident Johniie Winona Ross, whose exquisite Minimalist aesthetic really took hold with collectors. The debt to famous New Mexico resident and Minimalist goddess Agnes Martin is obvious, but Winona Ross has a disctinctive style and technique of his own. The process of creating this work was laborious: Ross typically applies as many as 90-100 layers of paint to each canvas, then scrapes the surface with a straight-edged razor to reveal the many layers (and their chronology), and finally burnishing the surface with a Pueblo pottery stone to achieve a soft gloss. Maureen Mullarkey of Studio Matters wrote in 2010: THE LOVELINESS OF JOHNNIE WINONA ROSS' paintings elude translation into either reproduction or verbal description. In 2011, ArtDaily published this announcement from Stephen Haller, publicizing a later exhibition: "Washington Post critic Stephen Parks characterized Ross’s work in this way: “From a distance his canvases appear to be simple, minimal constructions of horizontal stripes with hints of vertical color in the background. Up close the paintings are seen to be extraordinarily beautiful and complex objects that induce a humming meditative state.” Ross grounds his work in the inspiration of the desert of the American Southwest, and borrows techniques from ancient Native American sources, melding them with a distinctly sophisticated and utterly contemporary vision. His use of the Native American technique of burnishing pigment and minerals with a potter’s stone to create a hard surface with a visually warm sheen creates an effect reminiscent of the softening of marble steps...
