Description: This wide-format acrylic by Fanch Lel captures a tranquil, almost cinematic view of fishing boats moored at low tide, with two fishermen tending to their gear in the foreground. Rendered in expressive brushstrokes and a soft palette of aqua, lavender, ochre, and coral, the composition exudes the quiet routine of coastal life. The elongated canvas heightens the sense of panoramic stillness, evoking a harbour winding down for the day. Lel’s signature loose style is evident in the soft abstraction of the background, where vertical masts meet a sky streaked with broad, gestural strokes of yellow and blue. The boats and figures, though simplified, are full of rhythm and weight, creating a grounded contrast to the airy, dynamic sky. This piece is perfect for collectors who appreciate modernist coastal scenes with a slightly abstract, post-impressionist flair. Its non-standard horizontal format also makes it ideal for placement over a mantle, console, or workspace.
