Beautiful pictorial atmosphere for this overhanging view of a Paris pavement in the rain.
The luminosity of the reflections of a shop window on a wet pavement, the uniqueness of the four ovals of the umbrellas in an environment built of single rectangular touches, the red colour of the child’s raincoat which makes our eyes bounce like a pinball, are enough to sublimate a simple piece of pavement into a luminous miracle.
By playing with shapes and colours alone, the artist transforms a piece of Parisian pavement on a rainy evening into a luminous cathedral where the stained-glass windows light up the faithful passers-by who walk in silence over the wet spots.
