A Summer Night's Pond
Corinne Foucouin – Oil with knife on canvas – 130 x 97 cm – 2024
A dreamlike painting where water and light meet under the veil of a summer night.
In L'étang d'une nuit d'été , Corinne Foucouin composes a hymn to the serenity of a soft, starry night. The canvas vibrates with deep blues , velvety greens , and bright bursts of yellow and white, evoking the surface of a pond bathed in the reflections of the moon. Each touch of oil with a knife creates a subtle play of textures , bringing out a living, almost palpable water, where shadows and lights intertwine in a hypnotic dance.
The nuances of the work translate the mystery and poetry of a nocturnal landscape. The apparent calm is punctuated by gentle movements, like the silent ripples of a breeze brushing the surface. The pond, both real and imaginary, becomes the mirror of a summer night where the senses awaken in a parenthesis outside of time .
Corinne Foucouin invites us here to a moment of pure contemplation. This work evokes the fragile beauty of nature, and the suspended moment when the night light sublimates the elements.
A masterful piece that will bring a soothing and refined atmosphere to any interior, evoking memories of summer nights lulled by the magic of water and light.
