Small Contemporary Painting By Karibou - Au Loin (In the distance) - 13" x 16¼"

Au loin [In the distance] is a small oil on canvas rendered in a restrained palette of slate blue, misty grey, and pale celadon. The composition centers on the soft silhouette of a cow standing within tall, wind-brushed grasses, accompanied by the smaller figure of a dog seated close by as both gaze out toward a hazy, luminous expanse. The brushwork is atmospheric, with scumbled layers and gentle, tactile highlights that catch on the textured surface, creating a sense of quiet distance and early morning light. A discreet signature appears at the lower right. Unframed.

The cool tonality and softened edges create a tender distance, inviting the eye to linger and the mind to settle, making it an ideal piece for serene spaces such as bedrooms, reading corners, or softly lit living rooms where muted textiles and natural materials echo its calm. Its sense of watchful pause and gentle companionship would especially appeal to animal lovers drawn to quiet rural scenes, or anyone who finds comfort in art that brings a subtle, meditative hush into their home.
