Crèvecœur in Paris presented Views, an exhibition by Louise Sartor, from 31 October to 5 November 2026, a short, concentrated run at the gallery's rue de Beaune space.

Sartor paints in oil, gouache and silverpoint on found mass-market packaging, letting the shape of the discarded support decide the composition. The paintings carry a sculptural charge: the box or carton is not just a surface but part of the work.

Her subjects are wilting still-lifes with fading flowers, landscapes with shifting atmospheric effects and portraits of friends. The work is alert to the look of images on phones and tablets, the small, standardised formats in which most pictures are now seen, and her colours are saturated without softening what they depict. What she finds in the worn and the wilting is a kind of splendour: time made visible.

Crèvecœur was founded in Paris in 2009 by Axel Dibie and Alix Dionot-Morani and supports French and international artists whose work engages with social and political questions. Views was the gallery's presentation at its Paris-Beaune space.

Silverpoint, one of the media Sartor uses, is among the oldest drawing techniques, a silver stylus drawn across a prepared surface, and its precision suits her small, concentrated images. The paintings are small in scale, in keeping with the packaging they are made on, and their modest size asks viewers to come close, to look at what is usually thrown away. The gallery, which also operates a second Paris space at Paris-Cascades, has shown Sartor's work in a run of only six days, a brief window that makes the exhibition itself feel as fleeting as the flowers it depicts.
