Description:
In this vibrant and lively street scene, Fanch Lel captures a moment in time in front of a historic French stone church, possibly in Normandy or Brittany, during a local flower market. Eleven figures are depicted standing in a line—each stylized with loose, gestural brushwork and subtle, expressive colour blocking—bringing warmth and life to the scene.
The foreground bursts with colour, thanks to the painterly arrangement of floral pots in pale yellows, soft lilacs, and pinks. Behind the line of people, the soft blue of an awning and the rustic timber-framed buildings of a French town create a charming architectural backdrop.
The scene is bathed in diffused daylight, and Lel's impasto technique gives physicality and texture to the buildings and blooms alike. It’s an atmospheric portrayal of everyday French life—simple yet richly evocative.
This work would appeal to collectors of post-impressionist or modern French village scenes, particularly those who admire Maurice Utrillo or Édouard Léon Cortès, but prefer a more contemporary and looser interpretation.

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.
