About this artwork

This painting is inspired by a photograph by Jean-Léo Dugast. It served as an illustration for the front cover of the French edition of the novel "Naufrages" by Akira Yoshimura, titled "Hasen" in Japanese (破船), and published by Actes Sud. On this canvas, the mountains in the background display a texture absent from the original photograph, while taking on a delicately mauve hue that recalls this deep color so praised by Sōseki and Tanizaki, and which… is that of yōkan, a famous Japanese pastry. made from red bean paste and agar-agar. Perhaps this purple hue will also remind you of the mountains of Kyotô, the color of azuki flan, as they are evoked in this film by Yasujirō Ozu, "The Munakata Sisters". The junks appearing in Chinese shadows are inlays of Japanese paper tinted with Indian ink. Several layers of glaze are used to render the reflections of the water under the setting sun.

« Everything an artist should be: poet, explorer of nature, philosopher! -Paul Klee »

David Vall is an artist based in France whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Italy, Spain, and England. Inspired by natural elements, movement, and light, his works convey an ambivalence between darkness and light, interweaving mystery between surface and depth. Vall's bold abstractions are most often created using acrylics on canvas.
