Rouges by Sophie Pénicaud is a vibrant and textured exploration of autumn landscapes, where the warm palette of reds and ochres blends with subtle touches of purple and blue.
This work, measuring 15 x 20 cm, captures the viewer with its chromatic intensity and richness of texture. The painting seems to breathe the warm breath of an Indian summer day, where fields and hills ignite under a changing sky.
Sophie Pénicaud uses here superposition and scratching techniques to create a dynamic surface, reminiscent of layers of earth and expanses of worked fields. Brushstrokes and graphic marks provide structure and depth, evoking furrows or fences that punctuate the landscape.
The work invites deep contemplation, an immersion in a landscape that is both familiar and abstract, where the raw emotion of the dominant colors creates an immediate connection with the observer. A piece of nature to take home, ideal for infusing warmth and energy into any interior space.
