Small Contemporary Painting By Karibou - Les Chats du Bord de Mer - Cats By The Seashore - 14¼" x 14¼"

Les Chats du bord de mer [Cats by the Seashore] is an oil on cardboard, softly worked with small, textured strokes that build a velvety surface. A white cat and a charcoal cat sit side by side, their features seem lightly suggested, leaving it to the viewer to imagine whether they gaze toward the horizon or quietly back at us. They are framed by a band of blue sea and a muted slate-gray sky, with a palette that shifts from warm ochres and sand to chalky whites, blue-gray, and stormy violets. Edges blur gently, evoking salt air and distance. Presented in a simple light-wood frame with a wide off-white mat. The mood is tender and contemplative, like a pause at dusk when the shoreline hushes and the world feels unhurried. The quiet pairing of dark and light creates a graceful balance, evoking companionship without sentimentality. The impression is calm, slightly wistful, and intimately serene, one of those scenes that invites the viewer to linger and breathe with it.

This peaceful seascape brings a gentle breath of calm to any room, perfect for a bedroom, reading nook, or coastal-inspired space. Its two quiet companions offer something especially touching for cat lovers, but it also makes a heartfelt gift for anyone who loves the sea, treasures moments of stillness, or finds comfort in art that feels both tender and quietly uplifting.
