Description:
In this 2011 oil painting titled Marie Luce à Erquy, Fanch Lel captures a colourful and boldly textured view of moored fishing boats in the Breton port town of Erquy, located on the northern coast of France. Known for its pink sandstone cliffs and bustling harbour, Erquy is a favourite destination for artists drawn to its vivid maritime atmosphere.
The composition centers on two prominent fishing vessels, rendered with sculptural impasto in bright white, orange, and black tones. Their angular forms are softened by surrounding strokes of turquoise, cobalt, and sea green—giving the impression of reflected light dancing on the water. Above, a sky made up of swirling palette-knife marks in layered shades of blue and grey lends the work a lively, abstracted energy.
Lel’s impressionist-expressionist hybrid style is fully evident here: texture, colour, and spontaneity converge in a painting that captures not just the appearance but the rhythm and spirit of Erquy’s working harbour. The piece is inscribed on the reverse with the boat's name and location, adding both provenance and poetic resonance.
A wonderful choice for collectors of French marine art or those drawn to colourful coastal subjects, this compact piece is full of movement and painterly flair.

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.
