Description:
This striking acrylic landscape by Fanch Lel showcases a bold, expressionist interpretation of a quiet rural lane, flanked by rustic cottages and stylized trees. Painted with dynamic brushstrokes and high-contrast colours—purples, blues, soft whites, and deep blacks—the work exudes movement and emotion. The simplified structures and gestural linework hint at a wintery or twilight atmosphere, with icy tones adding a moody serenity to the scene. The pathway winds through the village, drawing the viewer’s eye toward a soft glow in the distance, offering a sense of story and intrigue. Ideal for lovers of post-impressionist or Fauvist-inspired styles, this is a vivid and highly expressive piece full of character and energy.
