Cristof Yvoré’s
paintings originate from a random anecdote: a reminiscence of playing
children, an image of a wardrobe, a façade, a corner of an uninhabited
room, or a vase with flowers. However, this personal memory and autobiographical
starting point dissolves during the act of painting. The forcefulness
whereby the paint is applied on the canvas brings about a distinctive
texture that compels the attention of the viewer. Hence, the initial descriptive
motif, by which the painter was triggered to create its representation,
is transformed into a pure pictorial element. The painting does not impart
a narrative, but instead discusses the nature of colour and composition,
the practise and craft of painting. A painting by Yvoré is an obstinate
investigation in the field of artistic possibilities, rather than a representation
referring to an idea outside its frame. The results of Yvoré’s
research are conveyed through varying textures of paint (watery to thick),
size (large to small), and a particular range of colour nuances (mainly
vibrating hues of brown). |
