Lisa Yuskavage: Rendez-vous

David Zwirner is pleased to present its first exhibition with American artist Lisa Yuskavage in its Paris location. Rendez-vous will be the artist’s eighth solo show with the gallery.

One of the most original and influential artists of the past three decades, Yuskavage creates works that affirm the singularity of the medium of painting while challenging conventional understandings of genres and viewership. At once exhibitionist and introspective, her rich cast of characters and their varied attributes are layered within compositions built of both representational and abstract elements, in which color is the primary vehicle of meaning. 

For this exhibition, Yuskavage presents new large-scale paintings, each set within an imagined artist’s studio. Saturated in deep, jewel-like pigments, these works form part of her ongoing exploration of the processes and complexities of art making. The studios become stages where characters from her oeuvre are intertwined, and where time moves backward and forward.

David Zwirner a le plaisir d’accueillir la première exposition dans ses espaces parisiens de l’artiste états-unienne Lisa Yuskavage. Rendez-vous est la huitième exposition personnelle de l’artiste avec la galerie.

Lisa Yuskavage figure au premier rang des artistes les plus innovants et influents des trente dernières années. Son travail exalte la singularité de la peinture en tant que médium tout en renouvelant les conceptions traditionnelles des genres artistiques et de la notion de spectateur. Dans une veine à la fois exhibitionniste et introspective, ses compositions, dont le sens repose en grande partie sur la couleur, articulent de multiples éléments figuratifs et abstraits et accueillent toute une galerie de personnages aux attributs divers. 

Pour cette exposition, Lisa Yuskavage dévoile de nouvelles peintures de grande taille, qui représentent différents ateliers d’artiste imaginaires. Saturées de pigments de couleurs intenses et chatoyantes, ces œuvres participent de son exploration assidue des procédés artistiques et de leurs subtilités. Les décors d’ateliers deviennent scènes de théâtre où s’entremêlent ses personnages récurrents et où le temps s’écoule dans tous les sens, vers le passé comme l’avenir.
