Description:
In this vibrant coastal scene by French painter Fanch Lel, a cluster of brightly painted fishing boats rest on sunlit sands beneath a dramatic, colour-streaked sky. The composition draws the eye toward a distant lighthouse, its red lantern perched above a stone base, standing watch over the harbour beyond.
Rendered in expressive gouache, Lel uses sweeping brushstrokes and soft abstraction to evoke the salty air and rhythm of seaside life. The foreground boats, painted in tonal blues, greens, and rusty reds, rest peacefully at low tide, their fine outlines and masts suggesting quiet purpose. Behind them, shimmering reflections and atmospheric strokes hint at a small village tucked against the horizon.
Lel’s handling of light and colour offers both energy and calm, combining coastal charm with the looseness of post-impressionist technique. This painting would appeal to collectors of maritime art, French regional landscapes, or anyone drawn to evocative depictions of coastal life.

Fanch Lel
Fanch Lel’s paintings, primarily executed in oil and gouache, evoke the serenity and charm of the French countryside, with a particular emphasis on the region's coastal and rural beauty. His works often highlight iconic landmarks such as Mont Saint-Michel and capture the essence of Breton culture with his portrayals of the region’s people and customs. Lel's self-taught, plein air approach allows for dynamic compositions that reflect the atmospheric light and textures of the region, giving his pieces a timeless appeal. His choice of soft, muted colors and rich textures brings a sense of nostalgia and quietude to each painting, making them a perfect addition to collections that appreciate mid-century French art. A member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants and a Knight of the Palmes Académiques, Fanch Lel's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions across France, including in Paris, Avranches, Dinard, and Pont-Aven, to name a few. His art has been highly sought after by collectors for decades.

Oil painting on board, unframed

Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists estate and have had no previous owners at all.
Description:
This lively coastal oil painting by Fanch Lel, signed and dated 1990, captures a charming seaside scene with three brightly painted fishing boats resting on the sand at low tide. In the distance, a lighthouse stands watch on a rocky outcrop, its red-capped beacon contrasting against the pale grey sky and choppy turquoise waters.
Executed with confident brushwork and a keen eye for maritime colour, this painting blends soft, overcast tones with vivid pops of red, blue, and orange across the boat hulls.
