About the work

Sophie Dumont, a world-renowned artist for her subtle exploration of forms and textures, presents us with Rythme des mots a work where the apparent simplicity of the subject – aligned books – transforms into a true visual and symbolic symphony. This painting, both minimalist and rich in meaning, invites the viewer to reflect on the richness of culture and its evocative power.

Natural or black wood frame (choice).

With, Sophie Dumont continues her pictorial exploration of libraries, here in a panoramic format that evokes both the timeline, the cadence of thought, and the density of knowledge.

The books, standing or lying down, rise like silent witnesses, bearers of stories, ideas, human echoes. The composition rests on a delicate balance between verticality and horizontality, colored masses and neutral breaths. The ochre, brick, cream, blue or graphite tones respond to each other in a visual choreography made of matter and silence.

Painted with a knife, the surface reveals a lively texture, as if each book had been inscribed, weighed, placed with intention. This work is not just 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 integrates elegantly into a contemporary interior, conducive to reflection or dialogue.
