This painting depicts a majestic black dog, captured with an impressive mastery of contrast and light. The work features this dark-coated dog, standing out elegantly against a light background that accentuates the depth of its gaze. The texture of the coat, meticulously painted, reveals subtle shades of blue and gray, demonstrating a refined technique and careful attention to detail. The dog's gaze, turned to the right, evokes both nobility and wisdom, as if scanning a distant horizon. The eyes, with a striking brilliance, seem almost alive, giving the animal a captivating and imposing presence. The dog's pose, slightly in profile, offers a beautiful dynamic to the whole, while emphasizing its elegant silhouette. The background, in a pale and uniform tone, highlights the main subject without distracting from it. This sobriety in the background further accentuates the statuesque aspect of the dog, allowing the viewer to focus on the expression and majestic posture of the animal. This painting succeeds in capturing not only the physical appearance of the dog, but also its essence and character, revealing an almost spiritual connection between the animal and the observer. The work, through its apparent simplicity and emotional depth, testifies to an undeniable artistic talent.
Collector’s Guide
In order to exist, a canvas needs to be looked at and listened to. Then it can start to speak.
Daughter of Sétois watercolourist Édouard Couderc (1891-1964), Christiane Barlow-Couderc was born in Lyon in 1939. She took drawing classes at the Lyon School of Art and trained with a number of local painters, including Champin de Lyon and his famous parrot.
She has held a number of solo exhibitions, including 'L'âme à fleur de peau' at the Agora Tête d'Or (Lyon 6th arrondissement), and 'Portraits, Paysages et Natures Mortes' at the Lyon 5th arrondissement town hall.
Her work includes nudes, still lifes, portraits and landscapes, and she particularly enjoys painting bodies and their curves, and sculpting their volumes by playing with colour. Her palette is warm and her words lively. An amateur painter, she paints for pleasure and out of inner necessity.
You can see a sample of her work on her website: www.christiane-barlow.com.
The works presented here express her love of animals and life.
