Strates harmoniques

• Framed in black floater frame

Sophie Dumont proposes a captivating work that invites meditation on the balance between matter and abstraction. This oil on canvas, through its composition of horizontal bands, explores the subtle dialogue between textures, colors, and lines.

The arrangement of layers, carefully overlaid, recalls an abstract landscape or geological layers revealed by time. The horizontal lines, sometimes regular, sometimes irregular, create a soothing yet dynamic visual rhythm. This balance reflects a fragile harmony, oscillating between control and the unexpected.

The richness of hues, ranging from deep reds to golden ochres, through bright grays and whites, establishes a chromatic tension. The central dark blue band acts as a visual anchor, enhancing depth and adding a touch of gravity. These colors evoke natural elements – earth, sky, light – while maintaining pure abstraction.

The treatment of the material, a distinctive mark of Dumont, brings the flat surfaces to life. The impastos and multiple layers create a vibrant texture that captures light, adding a tactile dimension to the work. This play of textures invites the viewer to interact, to feel the visual and almost physical vibrations of the layers.

The title reflects both the order and the musicality inherent in the work. The bands of color become visual notes, united in a composition that recalls a musical score. This work can be interpreted as a reflection on the interconnectedness of elements, whether in nature, music, or life itself.

With Sophie Dumont delivers a work that transcends simple abstraction to evoke emotional and sensory landscapes. Through her expert use of material and color, the artist once again confirms her status as a major figure in contemporary art.
