About this artwork

In Les Tranches de la Mémoire, Sophie Dumont explores what books reveal to us when they turn their backs on us. Through their aligned, disjointed, or compacted spines, she constructs a silent, rhythmic, and vibrant façade.
The work, in a structured landscape format, deploys blocks of material like fragments of a buried memory. The discreet collages, the ruptures of tones, the superimpositions of textures summon time, use, and erosion.

The palette—burnt… red, ochre, black, beige, olive gray—evocative of antique bindings, laden shelves, and the warmth of accumulated knowledge. We read nothing, but everything speaks. Here, the library becomes a pictorial field, a mental construct, a space for introspection.

« 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.
