About this artwork

In Fantaisie, Sophie Dumont gives free rein to a more spontaneous, almost playful composition, while remaining faithful to her theme of stylized libraries. The books, aligned on two contrasting shelves, seem to converse through their colors, rhythms, and assertive verticalities. The palette is enlivened by touches of orange, lilac, olive, brick, and golden ochre, energized by chalky whites and matte blacks.

This work evokes a mental shelf where… each volume could be a fragment of thought, a dream. The orange background of the lower shelf structures the composition and accentuates its contemporary roots. Despite the intimate format, the whole radiates a joyful, almost musical energy, like a visual score.

Worked in oil with a knife, the dense and vibrant material gives the book edges a sculptural presence.
Choice of frame: black or natural wood.

« To sublimate, to appropriate the subject, to keep only the essential. »

Sophie Dumont is a contemporary French painter born in Paris in 1964. She currently lives and works in Normandy. Her work, primarily oil on canvas, explores the memory of places through abstract landscapes, stylized libraries, and studio interiors. Through the layering of numerous paints and subtle collages, she constructs structured compositions where matter, light, and color interact. Her work is distinguished by a balance between architecture and pictorial sensibility. Exhibiting for over twenty years in France and internationally, notably in Germany, Canada, Belgium, and Italy, Sophie Dumont's work is now featured in numerous private and museum collections.
