Un Jardin d'Automne, 2024

Sophie Duplain  

This artwork is a captivating geometric composition that stands out for its harmony and visual balance. The artist skillfully uses a set of simple shapes such as circles, semi-circles, and squares. The chosen colors are both earthy and vibrant, featuring shades of red ochre, emerald green, teal blue, golden yellow ochre, black, and white, creating a striking contrast that immediately catches the viewer's eye. Each section of the grid presents a unique combination of these shapes, giving the work a rhythmic dynamism. The warm beige/vanilla background accentuates the colors and shapes, allowing each block to stand out clearly. The balance between curved and angular elements adds depth and fluidity to the overall structure, reinforcing a sense of harmony. This painting is remarkable for its ability to convey a sense of calm and order while inviting the viewer to explore the interactions between shapes and colors. The piece embodies a modern, minimalist aesthetic while evoking an elegant and timeless simplicity. It is a visual celebration of geometric abstraction, showcasing the artist’s mastery of sophisticated simplicity.

The artwork can be oriented in two ways, and Sophie has provided fittings to allow for hanging in either horizontal or vertical orientation.
