Ballet Rehearsal, Pause

About the artwork

A rehearsal scene captured in a suspended moment: the dancers are shown on the floor in a resting posture, in front of a studio mirror. The balanced horizontal composition unfolds within a soft palette dominated by greys, blacks and ochres. The work holds its tension in the gap between the physical effort of the working body and the apparent calm of the moment, a recurrent theme in the artist's gaze upon dance.
