In Reading Time, Sophie Dumont presents a stylized library where the rigorous organization of volumes is combined with a sensitive approach to materials. The books, reduced to clean, vertical forms, become architectural elements in their own right, structuring the pictorial space with balance and restraint.
The composition is structured around a central row defined by a deep brick background, which acts as a visual focal point. This middle band introduces a controlled chromatic tension, interacting with the lighter, more mineral tones of the shelves above and below. The subtle variations of whites, grays, ochres, and muted blues establish a calm, almost meditative rhythm.
The material, worked in successive layers, retains visible traces of the artist’s hand, lending the whole a tactile presence and a silent depth. Far from a descriptive representation, the artist here suggests the suspended time of reading, a time for reflection and intellectual intimacy.
Reading Time fits perfectly into Sophie Dumont’s library series, where the book becomes a pretext for exploring time, memory, and inner order. A balanced and timeless work, both structured and sensitive.
