Description:
This striking impressionist oil painting by Fanch Lel captures a row of fishing boats docked in a bustling harbor. The powerful, angular shapes of the boats contrast with the fluidity of the water below, creating a dynamic tension between stillness and movement. The hulls of the boats are painted in dark blues and greys, reflecting their sturdy, utilitarian nature, while touches of white highlight the lifebuoys and railings, drawing attention to the human presence aboard. The water, rendered in quick, energetic strokes, ripples under the boats, giving the impression of constant, rhythmic movement.
Above, the background is a wash of subdued greens and blues, depicting the natural landscape and structures that surround the harbor, with minimal details that leave the viewer's focus on the boats. Lel’s use of texture is particularly evident in the application of the paint, where thick, sweeping strokes emphasize the weight and power of the vessels. This piece beautifully encapsulates the hardworking life of a coastal harbour, with its fishermen at the ready, preparing their boats for the day's journey.

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.
