Christmas on the balcony,
Easter by the fire — the flame
knows the order of days

Le four à pain III is an oil painting. A dark, round, massive form stands out against a pink ground: the silhouette of a bread oven, reduced to its essential volume.

The bread oven lies at the heart of “Tcharendar”, the day of bread, a moment that returns regularly in the economy of rural life. Sébastien Bonin makes it a recurring motif: what matters is not the event but the repetition around it.
