Upright volumes, stacked forms and interrupted rows create a measured interplay of vertical and horizontal lines.

A restrained palette of off-white, grey, beige, ochre and brown brings subtle variations of light and depth to the composition. Built through successive layers of oil paint, scraping and reworking, the textured surface softens the underlying structure and reveals traces of the painting’s development.

Part of Dumont’s ongoing Libraries series, this work explores books as carriers of memory and as elements of a constructed pictorial space. Its compact square format offers an intimate encounter with the artist’s distinctive approach to material and rhythm.

Sophie Dumont is a French contemporary artist based in Normandy. Her practice spans abstract landscapes, libraries and geometric compositions, connected by an exploration of layering, memory and space.

Original, one-of-a-kind oil painting on linen canvas, created in 2026. Presented in a natural wood floater frame.
