Au large, la lumière is a large-scale contemporary acrylic painting (36 × 60 inches) that invites quiet contemplation. The work offers a rare point of view: standing at water level, at the threshold of the river, between anchored rocks and the open expanse beyond. The viewer is not positioned above the scene, but within it, inhabiting a moment of presence and stillness.


The composition balances richly textured areas—suggestive of the solidity of stone and shoreline—with more fluid, open passages where light unfolds freely. Light plays a central role in the painting, not merely illuminating the landscape but slowly revealing it through layered gestures and subtle transitions. These shifts echo the breathing rhythm of the river itself, both powerful and serene.


Painted in acrylic, Au large, la lumière explores landscape as an inner space rather than a literal place. The work does not depict a specific location; instead, it conveys a sensation—a suspended moment of tranquility where time seems to expand and the gaze can rest. The painting reflects a deep connection between the human presence and vast natural environments, particularly those shaped by rivers and northern landscapes.


This artwork speaks to collectors and viewers drawn to contemporary, abstract, and semi-abstract landscape painting. Its luminous palette and meditative atmosphere make it well suited for spaces seeking calm, depth, and openness. Au large, la lumière t is an invitation to slow down, to look, and to stand quietly at the edge of open water.
