"Sophie Dumont's 'Mother-of-Pearl Light' transports the viewer into a semi-abstract realm where the boundary between reality and emotion is deliciously blurred. The artist employs oil on canvas to create a composition that evokes a beach on the Normandy coast, but it's the way she interprets light and form that makes this artwork so captivating.

The pastel colors, applied with a free and expressive touch, establish a dreamlike atmosphere. The title, 'Mother-of-Pearl Light,' takes on full meaning through the subtle and iridescent palette emanating from the canvas. Light, even under a shaded sky, is present and conveys a sense of tranquility and mystery.

The shapes of the coastal landscape are suggested rather than defined, leaving room for the viewer's imagination. The soft contours of the waves and elements of the shoreline allow each person to interpret the scene in their own way, creating a personal visual experience.

The black wooden floater frame that surrounds the painting plays a crucial role in the overall aesthetics. It frames the artwork while discreetly fading away, placing emphasis on the painting itself. This combination of semi-abstract techniques, evocative colors, and careful presentation creates a harmony that draws the eye and invites contemplation. You can choose the natural wood frame. Size framed 13.77 x 17.71 in

In conclusion, 'Mother-of-Pearl Light' transcends the mere representation of the landscape to offer an artistic experience where reality and abstraction converge. Sophie Dumont succeeds in capturing the essence of the Normandy coast while leaving room for personal interpretation, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the delicate nuances and suggestive forms of her semi-abstract work."

Born in Paris on April 09, 1964. Lives and works in Langrune sur Mer (Normandy)

Sophie Dumont moved away from the Metropolis to live a few years in the Antilles, Spain and finally in Morocco.

She stores up a host of images and colors that she will carefully keep at the bottom of her memory.

On her return to France in 1991, she took the plunge and grabbed the brushes. From her earliest childhood, she was immersed in the world of painting, through the drawings of Henriette Dumont, her paternal grandmother who sketches at all times, children and grandchildren with a line that can recall that of Matisse .

Sophie Dumont is interested in the history of art, works for several years, searches, discovers in order to fully realize herself around 2007.

Its invoice becomes stronger, the layers multiply on the canvas, revealing a beach or cliffs to whoever wants to discover them.

His work in oil takes on its full value in successive layers and transparencies in shades of gray and white.

Sophie DUMONT extends her exploration of the Norman universe.

The environment is familiar to her, but she stubbornly welds the slightest vibrations.

The omnipresent landscape hides from view to reveal furtive appearances that drown in the pearly and translucent light.

The subliminal vision of a horizon cut out by distant cliffs evokes a daily life punctuated by a constantly changing space.

Nothing disturbs the tranquility of a space shaped by these diaphanous lights, a mixture of grays and shadows that subtly play with the fluidities of air and water. These landscapes imbued with a lyricism bordering on abstraction seem to move away from a reality that the heaviness of traditional painting wants to find in the recognizable.

The representation is irreversibly detached from the motif to better reflect the emotion aroused by the total immersion in the painting. The image fades before the senses, giving the viewer his freedom of interpretation.

The addition in certain paintings of materials such as gauze reveals at the same time the permanent quest for new efforts.

The hierarchy established in the canvas by different centers of interest reinforces the confrontation between matter and source of light. The lines of force are sometimes shifted

for the benefit of a greater convergence towards the heart of the representation which remains abstract,



But technical developments in no way affect the artist's predilection for large formats,

nor its expression in a free choice of subjects, such as those which, for the first time, will mark

a semblance of a break (very limited) with what remains a constant. A conspicuous distance from the painting of motifs.



CRITICAL

Sophie DUMONT's abstract is not a concept, it is an approach where each canvas is built

around graphics put into perspective by color.

The drawing can recall the shape of a body or the meanders of a landscape. It is only the unpremeditated interpretation of a figurative idea, which takes other forms in space.

The canvas is structured around a play of curves and lines filtering the lights.

It is in this refined construction that the palette of often contrasting tones enters the scene.

But the substance is never raw, drawing from its maturation lyrical effects which are the result of a fruitful work of the material. The knife shapes the material in successive layers that merge into a combination of shimmering colors.

The underlying presence of the different substrates creates this vibration born from the contrast between matter and color, to give the representation a life of its own, independent of any reference. The spectator's gaze, far from being guided, is invited to travel freely in the canvas.

His perception is only the expression of his own emotions, submitted simply to the effect of modulations transcribed by the artist. Hence this permanent relationship between works with sometimes changing appearances and spirit, but which symbolize a coherent and sincere approach.
