Louise Sartor's brush for Roland Garros 2022

About the multiple news of Louise Sartor who has just exhibited at the Crèvecoeur gallery in Paris.

This year, she has signed the poster for the French Open, which will take place from 16 May to 5 June. She has chosen to highlight the ball boys. This is enough to put the spotlight on Louise Sartor, a painter born in Paris in 1988 and living in Corrèze, where she has settled with her partner, the artist Matthieu Palud, in the village of Treignac. No, painting is not dead. With her old-fashioned touch, Louise Sartor wonderfully exalts the obsolescence of a world well anchored in reality. All those things that have gradually fallen off the art world's radar. The narrow views from his window or the potted broom, the grazing animals, the flowers withering in a vase, the landscapes or the medicine leaflets... everything here seems indifferent to the passing of time. And Judicaël Lavrador wonders in Beaux-Arts Magazine: does this neo-rural artist embody contemporary art in the fields? Even her carefully preserved anonymous models seem idle, and one hesitates at the sight of them between a strange sensation of calm or a diffuse anxiety, a bit like in a Chabrol film or a Simenon book. What is behind this precise brush? Is there anything to hide? Small formats, packing cartons, shreds of paper... Louise Sartor is fond of the poor medium for her paintings, perhaps in memory of the Wednesday afternoons of her youth when she spent tirelessly drawing, long before her classical training at the Beaux-arts de Paris, her stay in Berlin or at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs from which she graduated in 2012. Her universe opened the doors of the Villa Médicis, and she exhibits with the same enthusiasm in her village art centre as in a Parisian or New York gallery!

 An unpublished correspondence with her father, the writer Claude Eveno, has just been published by Sens & Tonka, about the landscapes of Treignac.
