Crèvecoeur gallery in Paris presents "To Paint is to Love Again," a group exhibition curated by artist Louise Sartor running from April 9 to May 27, 2026. The show brings together works by eleven artists: Geneviève Asse, Sadie Benning, Whitney Claflin, Anne-Lise Coste (Uruk), Jean Dubuffet, Jean Hugo, Ulalai Imai, Françoise Lapeyre, Louise Sartor, Li Shan, and Naoki Sutter-Shudo. The exhibition is documented with 49 images on Contemporary Art Daily.
The exhibition matters because it assembles a diverse, intergenerational roster of painters—from historical figures like Jean Dubuffet to emerging contemporaries—under a thematic title that suggests painting as an act of emotional renewal. Curated by a participating artist, the show blurs the line between curator and creator, offering a personal, intimate perspective on contemporary painting. The venue's location on the Right Bank of Paris and the involvement of multiple international artists signal the gallery's continued role in fostering cross-cultural dialogue in the art world.
