Rythme des Strates, an oil on canvas measuring 60x60 cm, stands out for its mastery of colour and geometric shapes. Sophie Dumont's work is characterised by horizontal bands, juxtaposing bright and deep shades of red, blue, black and beige. This minimalist composition evokes a kind of abstract landscape, where each colour can be interpreted as an element of nature or a fragment of a memory.

Dumont uses a knife technique that creates a rich and tactile texture, bringing the surface of the canvas to life.

Dumont's work is part of an approach that resonates with contemporary artistic concerns, while paying homage to the abstract movements of the 20th century.

Sophie Dumont's "Here" demonstrates the artist's mastery of geometric and textured abstraction, a captivating piece born from the interaction of oil and knife on canvas. The meticulous layering process she employs produces an abundance of material, creating a visually rich and tactile experience.

The multitude of layers in this composition not only adds depth to the work, but also invites the viewer to undertake a sensory exploration. Each stab with the palette contributes to the overall texture, creating a dynamic play of light and shadow.

Dumont's deliberate choice of a muted palette suggests a nuanced construction that invites interpretation rather than dictation. The gray tones, subtle and harmonious, find balance in the warm embrace of red hues, infusing the canvas with a soft liveliness. The strategic use of color not only adds visual interest, but also conveys a narrative, inviting viewers to emotionally engage with the work.

Note Dumont's use of pure oil without additives, demonstrating a commitment to the authenticity of its craft. The artist observes extended drying periods between each layer, a patient process that contributes to the rich, layered texture of the final piece.

The decision to paint the edges of the canvas is both practical and aesthetic, allowing the work to exist independently without requiring a frame. This intentional choice emphasizes the completeness of the composition, drawing the viewer's attention solely to the work itself.

With framed dimensions of 35.43 x 35.43 inches, "Harmony Unveiled" commands a presence while maintaining a balanced scale.
