Description:
This lively oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures the charm and vibrancy of a sun-drenched beach scene in France, painted in 1993. The composition unfolds with a gentle curve of golden sand, dotted with bright figures and parasols, leading the eye toward a coastal village set against a backdrop of lush trees. In the water, colourful sailboats skim across the surf, their reflections dancing on the surface in shades of yellow, lavender, and coral.
Rendered in Lel’s expressive impressionist style, the piece evokes the atmosphere of a classic summer holiday on the French Riviera or Atlantic coast. The architecture—with its curved rooftops and shaded terraces—hints at resort towns like Biarritz, Arcachon, or Saint-Jean-de-Luz, known for their whitewashed villas, pine forests, and sailboat-filled bays.
The artist’s confident use of palette knife and visible brushstrokes adds texture and rhythm to the sea and sky, while the foliage in the foreground anchors the scene with detail and warmth. This work is a joyful celebration of leisure, light, and movement—ideal for collectors who appreciate modern French coastal art or seek a piece that radiates summer energy and escapism.

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.
