About the Item

Created by a contemporary French artist recognized for his refined approach to material and abstraction, this painting reflects a deep exploration of memory, silence, and time through the language of texture. Rooted in the traditions of European minimalism yet unmistakably personal, his work resonates with a timeless, contemplative force. Oil on canvas – 100 x 100 cm (39.4 x 39.4 in) framed size 107 x 107 cm (42.13 x 42.13 in) Framing available – Black or natural wood floater – Certificate of authenticity included and the painting is ready to hang In The Pursuit of Thought, French artist Sophie Dumont constructs a stylized bookshelf as a visual meditation. Three rows of book spines form a structured yet poetic composition — a kind of mental architecture built from memory and rhythm. The palette is subtle and harmonious: soft greys, warm neutrals, ivory, black, with accents of rust, ochre, and slate blue. Using a palette knife, Dumont layers oil in thick textures, giving each spine its own tactile character. This painting is not about reading, but about reflecting — the books become vessels of silence, contemplation, and thought in motion.

Bibliophile' explores the energy of precariousness... are the forms perfectly balanced, or are they near to collapse? Using a carefully mediated colour palette which is by turns both recessive and complementary, I'm interested in the ambiguity of an image which might signify something both celebratory and chaotic, with touchpoints to the analog world of books and the digital world of data.
