In, the artist immerses us in a universe where time and memory are woven around books and their stories. Through the use of oil on canvas and brushstrokes with a knife, the work creates a dense and palpable texture that gives great materiality to the representation of books, symbols of stories and knowledge accumulated over time.
The choice of colours, ranging from beige to dark tones, creates a subtle and soothing contrast, evoking a feeling of depth and calm. Each book, although reduced to its edge, seems to carry within it a promise of an unfinished story. The books overlap in an ordered but not fixed composition, like a continuous flow that defies the passage of time and the lines between order and chaos.
The very craftsmanship of the canvas, the way the materials stack and merge, seems to describe the transmission of knowledge through the ages. This meticulous work invites contemplation and reflection on what lies behind each cover, each page, each line of writing. The choice of a 73 x 60 cm (28.7 x 23.6 inches) format, both intimate and present, serves to capture the viewer's attention, inviting them to immerse themselves in the artist's universe.
With it, the artist offers not only a visual exploration of abstraction and matter, but also a meditation on collective memory and shared narratives, encapsulated in the book object. Each brushstroke seems to be a line drawn in history, a work in itself that is part of the long tradition of art as a witness to time.

Presentation
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 group exhibitions nationally, distinguishing herself by using large formats . Her paintings, whether landscapes or libraries, always incite dreams and reflection.
