With, Sophie Dumont continues her pictorial exploration of libraries, here in a panoramic format which evokes both the timeline, the pace of thought and the density of knowledge.
The books, standing or lying down, stand as silent witnesses, bearers of stories, ideas, and human echoes. The composition rests on a delicate balance between verticality and horizontality, colored masses and neutral breaths. The ochre, brick, cream, blue, and graphite tones echo one another in a visual choreography made of matter and silence.
Painted with a knife, the surface reveals a living texture, as if each book had been inscribed, weighed, and placed with intention. This work is not simply a representation of a shelf: it becomes an abstract score, a mental landscape, a tribute to culture as a common foundation.
It is a work with a strong presence, which fits elegantly into a contemporary interior, conducive to reflection or dialogue.
