L’Instant Suspendu is a hypnotic work by Guimond, where light and nature come together in a moment of absolute serenity.
At the center of the composition, a nude figure lies motionless on the ground, as if abandoned to the gentleness of the moment. Her body, tinted pale green, seems to merge with the environment, evoking an intimate connection between the human and the earth. The fine, relaxed features of her face suggest a state of letting go, between wakefulness and abandonment, between consciousness and dream.
Around her, dark trees form a passageway, a kind of sacred vault that opens out into the bright light. Their geometric foliage, in shades of blue and green, creates a fluid movement that seems to stretch skywards, giving the scene an almost mystical dimension. The golden light in the center acts as an enveloping force, a call to an elsewhere or a benevolent energy that bathes the reclining figure.
With L’Instant Suspendu, Guimond transports us into a timeless space, where nature becomes a sanctuary and the body fades into the background, melting into the universe. A work that invites contemplation, quietude and reflection on our own place in the cycle of life.
