SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE Paris will exhibit a selection of paintings by Yvonne Robert starting March 12, with Anthony Vaccarello curating the show.

Yvonne is a German painter who works from intuition. Her approach is spontaneous and gestural, with paintings that read as vibrant fields of color. But there is structure underneath, as she possesses a deep and assured understanding of composition, proportion, and how colors balance against each other.

The canvases are off-white and densely primed. She builds up layers of paint, which creates depth and a kind of luminosity that allows hues and dynamic forms to emerge from the surface with clarity. The work is formalist in nature, which means it avoids narrative, symbolism, or socio-political rhetoric. Instead, the paintings offer an open space of perception where meaning is not something she assigns. It arrives, or it does not, depending on who happens to be looking.

Robert wants the work to function as a catalyst for introspection. The idea is to slow down and to feel something from color and movement before thinking about it, with sensation arriving ahead of intellect. She describes a desire to create energy and a return to an instinctive state where the experience of the painting itself becomes central. The encounter encourages inward reflection and affirms that individual perception can be a source of understanding.

All exhibited artworks at SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE Paris will be available for sale.
