Biography
Sophie Dumont is a contemporary French artist, born in Paris on April 9, 1964. She currently lives and works in Langrune, in Normandy. Her work is distinguished by an artistic approach where each canvas is built around graphics put into perspective by color.
Her artistic exploration begins with the Norman landscapes , where she probes the slightest vibrations of a familiar environment. She uses shades of gray and white to create landscapes which, although omnipresent, escape the gaze to reveal furtive apparitions drowned in a pearly and translucent light. These landscapes, imbued with a lyricism bordering on abstraction , move away from a palpable reality, offering the viewer total freedom of interpretation. Sophie Dumont's technique is marked by the use of oil in successive layers, creating transparencies and subtle light effects. The palette knife shapes the material into layers that merge into a combination of shimmering colors, bringing to life representations independent of any direct reference.
Dumont's stylistic evolution is notable in her series on libraries, where the book becomes a metaphor for culture rather than an everyday object. The libraries overflowing with volumes and the detailed bindings are an evocation of culture as a first universal language, a vector of peace transcending borders and differences.
Some of her paintings recall the influence of Nicolas de Staël through their graphic simplicity and fluidity, tending towards a lyrical abstraction which erases the visible appearances of reality. The variations of black, gray and white concentrate all the energy contained in nature, in a play of perspectives and lights where the line fades in favor of the general atmosphere of the canvas.
Sophie Dumont has presented her works in individual and collective exhibitions at the international level with exhibitions in Canada, Germany, Belgium, etc. distinguished by often large formats. Her paintings, whether landscapes or libraries, always incite dreams and reflection.
