“Marie basin a Erguy”: Erquy, France is a commune in the Cotes-d’Armor department of Brittany in northwestern France. Erquy is located in a cove of the Penthievre coast bordered by Cape Erquy on one side and a volcanic rock formation called pointe de la Heussaye on the other. Erquy harbour shelters a flotilla of about 80 trawlers and the town is known as the scallop “capital”. The shellfish are collected in the Saint-Brieuc bay.
Fanch Lel’s paintings, primarily executed in oil and gouache, evoke the serenity and charm of the French countryside, with a particular emphasis on the region's coastal and rural beauty. His works often highlight iconic landmarks such as Mont Saint-Michel and capture the essence of Breton culture with his portrayals of the region’s people and customs. Lel's self-taught, plein air approach allows for dynamic compositions that reflect the atmospheric light and textures of the region, giving his pieces a timeless appeal. His choice of soft, muted colors and rich textures brings a sense of nostalgia and quietude to each painting, making them a perfect addition to collections that appreciate mid-century French art. A member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants and a Knight of the Palmes Académiques, Fanch Lel's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions across France, including in Paris, Avranches, Dinard, and Pont-Aven, to name a few. His art has been highly sought after by collectors for decades.
