Marre basse à Langrune 2

Frame: Choose black or natural wood!

In this work, Sophie Dumont captures the shifting essence of the Norman coastline with remarkable subtlety. The scene evokes a low tide where the sky and sea seem to merge in a harmony of soft and nuanced tones.

Composition and Structure

The spatial organization is balanced: the sky occupies a significant part of the canvas, giving an impression of vastness. The horizon line is subtly marked, creating a fluid transition between the atmosphere and the shore. The artist plays with the masses of clouds, which appear to be in motion, imparting dynamism to the whole.

Color Palette

The dominant tones are gray blues, sandy beiges, and touches of bright whites. This palette contributes to a serene and contemplative atmosphere, true to the marine landscapes of Normandy. The contrast between the light touches and the bluish shadows structures the image without freezing it, evoking the passage of wind and aquatic reflections.

Technique and Material

The use of knife and brush is skillfully combined: some areas are smooth and vaporous (notably in the clouds), while others display a denser and textured material, particularly in the rendering of sand and residual waves. This play of material amplifies the effect of depth and captures light with finesse.
