Ouessant
Corinne Foucouin – Oil with knife on canvas – 46 x 55 cm – 2024
A maritime landscape where land and ocean merge.
In Ouessant , Corinne Foucouin pays tribute to the wild and mysterious beauty of seascapes. Inspired by the eponymous Breton island, this work invites the viewer to contemplate the moving horizon where water, sky and light intertwine in a vibrant ballet of colors .
The omnipresent blue declines its nuances in deep and luminous touches, from shimmering turquoise to shaded indigos. The golden and orange reflections, scattered here and there, evoke the caress of the sun on the agitated surface of the water, while the successive layers of oil with a knife create a rich and lively texture, almost tactile.
The artist's mastered abstraction gives this painting an evocative power : each stroke of the knife draws a fragment of landscape, suggesting the immensity of a moving ocean and the harshness of the elements specific to maritime regions. The work exudes calm and strength, offering a moment suspended in the face of immensity.
A striking and timeless piece, ideal for lovers of the sea and horizons where light enhances nature.
