About the work
In "Connected by Color", Sophie Dumont explores the interconnection of shapes and colors within a carefully structured composition. This oil on canvas measuring 53 x 53 cm features colorful books arranged with precision and harmony on shelves, in a balance that evokes the diversity and richness of literature. Each book, with its thick texture and vibrant tones, seems to tell a different story, yet all are united by the carefully chosen color palette of the artist.
The warm and cool colors, ranging from reds to blues and softer, earthier tones, create a visual dynamic where each ray of light, each shadow, brings this pictorial library to life. The expressive brushstrokes and thicknesses of material reveal the artist's involvement, who seeks to capture not only the appearance of a book but also its texture and the energy it conveys.
The way Dumont plays with light and shadow through colors and shapes makes this work a reflection on the importance of knowledge, but also on the subjectivity of the narratives one can find in each work. The artist invites the viewer to interpret what is hidden behind each book, to seek the untold stories that may reside in the spaces between the shelves.
