Maison Lecan presents “Échelle,” a contemporary work by Gilles Le Rihault, dated April 2023.
The subject is the draft scale painted on a ship’s hull: white numbers in relief up to the 8-meter mark, the blue hull above, the red antifouling paint below, and streaks of rust in between. The trapezoidal format mimics the shape of a ship’s bow.
The textural treatment is thick: coatings, worn layers of paint, and scratches. It looks like a real sheet of ship’s metal docked at a pier, inspired by the ports of Brittany.
The work is signed with the monogram GLR in the lower right corner, and titled, signed, and dated on the back. The panel is mounted on a pine frame, ready to hang.
It would look great on a wall in an entryway, an office, or a seaside home.
Dimensions: Width 62 cm, Height 102 cm, Depth 5 cm
