Despite their scientific accuracy, Gisèle's paintings seldom accurately reflect the scenes she observed. Although pure artistic creation tends to distance painters from the reproduction of lived experience, their role is also to bear witness to certain striking facts. For example, Kings at rest faithfully renders one of the finest encounters between Gisèle and moose. Here, the artist has minutely respected the decor, the posture of the subjects, the arrangement of each tree as well as the greyness of this November day, in 1993, in Jasper National Park, Alberta. Twenty years passed before the artist succeeded in expressing on canvas the emotion she felt when she spent long moments a few steps from moose dozing and ruminating. As for the downy woodpecker, it symbolizes Gisèle, a discreet and privileged witness to the rest of kings.
The original painting belongs to a private collection. This is a 36" x 48" (91 cm x 122 cm) oil on canvas.
