Livre apres livre
Over het werk
Livre après Livre is a work that invites us to reflect visually on the role of books and stories in our lives. This oil on canvas, measuring 50 x 50 cm (19.7 x 19.7 in), captures the very essence of libraries: shelves filled with volumes that tell silent tales. Each book, each shelf seems to tell a distinct story, yet together they form a harmonious whole symbolizing the accumulation of knowledge and memory.
Through the use of subtle colors and expressive textures, the artist, Sophie Dumont, renowned for her skillful use of oil and texture, creates an atmosphere that immerses us in a calm and introspective world. The play of light and shadow, combined with the rich texture of oil painting, makes the piece come alive and tactile. Livre après Livre celebrates the beauty of everyday objects—objects that, though silent, carry entire worlds within them.
This work reminds us that every book, every page turned, contributes to a continuously evolving story.
