Certificate of authenticity included
In Chroniques de l’Esprit, French artist Sophie Dumont reinterprets the bookshelf as a vertical totem of thought and memory. Against a deep midnight-blue background, rows of stylized books emerge in warm ochres, ivory, sienna, and slate grey. The contrast between the dark ground and the luminous spines creates a striking rhythm of presence and silence.
Built entirely with oil and palette knife, the surface reveals textured edges and tonal nuances that lend each volume a unique character. The composition exudes both structure and poetic tension, embodying the contemplative solitude of inner exploration.
This elegant and powerful vertical painting is ideal for reading spaces, modern libraries, or collectors drawn to abstract representations of intellectual life. Dumont’s library series is internationally collected and widely exhibited for its minimalist elegance and emotional resonance.
