With Flood Alert , Marie-France Desbonnet explores the striking contrast between the relentless power of nature and the fragility of industrial heritage. This 100 x 80 cm work immerses the viewer in an immersive scene where water slowly creeps into an abandoned building, a vestige of a forgotten working-class past.
The rusty metal structures, rendered with almost photographic precision, bear witness to a world in decline, while the moving reflections on the water bring an unexpected life to this deserted space. The vegetation that is reborn through the decrepitude of the places reinforces this feeling of an inescapable cycle: nature always reclaims its rights.
Through the subtle use of black and white enhanced with touches of color – here green and rusty shades – the artist breathes a dreamlike dimension into this scene of apparent desolation. Flood Alert is not only a representation of an abandoned place; it is a poetic reflection on the passage of time, the resilience of nature and the memory of places.
Price: €2,800 A unique example – a powerful work for collectors sensitive to art that dialogues between industrial memory and invasive nature.
