About the Item

by Sophie Dumont offers an exploration of the convergence between literature and visual arts. The canvas depicts a library with colorful books, painted in oil using a palette knife, where the book becomes less of a daily object and more of a profound evocation of culture. The artwork transcends the traditional representation of a library by incorporating an abstract and geometric dimension while maintaining the tangible presence of books. The use of the palette knife and the layering of multiple coats create a rich and complex texture, inviting the viewer to engage in a thorough visual exploration. Lines and colors harmoniously blend, evoking a fusion between visual elements and imaginary texts. This symbiosis between literary and visual arts is palpable, creating an immersive visual experience. The artist's series of libraries find a unique expression in "Ondes Littéraires," where geometric abstraction coexists with a realistic representation of books. The dimensions of the painting, 87 X 87 cm (34 x 34 in) with the frame, provide ample space for the viewer to delve into the subtle details and nuances of the work. The framing with a black or natural wood American box, at the buyer's choice, adds an additional aesthetic dimension to the piece. The edges of the canvas are meticulously painted, showcasing the artist's attention to peripheral details. The Akoun Rating certification confirms the artistic value of the work, providing institutional recognition to Sophie Dumont's career. In summary, "Ondes Littéraires" emanates an atmosphere of intellectual and visual exploration, marked by the intersection of shapes, colors, and imaginary narratives. This makes the artwork a significant contribution to the intersection of literary and artistic worlds. A certificate comes with the painting ans it's ready to be hanged

Large Contemporary Bookshelf Painting – Oil on Canvas in Blue, Ochre and Ivory
By SOPHIE DUMONT
Located in LANGRUNE-SUR-MER, FR
Sophie Dumont – “Les Gardiens du Savoir” Oil on canvas – 19.69 x 59.06 in (50 x 150 cm) Framed dimensions: 22.44 x 61.81 in (57 x 157 cm) – Choice of black or natural wood frame Year: 2025 Certificate of authenticity included Les Gardiens du Savoir is a monumental bookshelf painting by French artist Sophie Dumont, known for her poetic and textured abstractions of literary spaces. In this large horizontal composition, vertical books stand as sentinels of silence and memory, painted in a harmonious palette of ivory, navy blue, ochre, rust, and soft grey. Built entirely with oil and palette knife, the surface is richly textured, offering tactile depth and visual rhythm. Each book, slightly irregular, becomes a unique entity—together forming a sculptural architecture of thought and time. This elegant and balanced work makes a powerful statement in modern interiors, reading rooms, or creative spaces. Part of Dumont’s acclaimed “library” series, Les Gardiens du Savoir combines minimalist structure with emotional resonance. Her work is collected internationally and exhibited in galleries and museums across Europe and North America. 🔍 Keywords SEO : bookshelf painting, large oil on canvas, French artist Sophie Dumont, contemporary library art, abstract book painting, neutral and blue wall art...
