'Silent Talk'Ilse D’Hollander & Cristof Yvoré
Curator: Ilaria Bonacossa
With Silent Talk, Gallery Sofie Van de Velde and curator Ilaria Bonacossa bring together the work of Ilse D’Hollander and Cristof Yvoré in a quiet yet intense dialogue. Although their oeuvres may appear different at first glance, both artists share a fundamental attention to painting as a site of concentration, time, and inner tension.
Ilse D’Hollander’s paintings balance between abstraction and emotion. With a keen sense of color, rhythm, and composition, they create an intimate space in which silence and intensity converge. Her work invites close, attentive looking and an experience that unfolds slowly.
Cristof Yvoré approaches painting as a process of reduction and precision. His works are composed of restrained forms and subdued planes of color, in which structure, proportion, and pictorial tension take center stage. They resist unambiguous interpretation and open up a space for contemplation.
What connects D’Hollander and Yvoré is their shared sobriety and their pursuit of achieving maximum expressive power with minimal means. In Silent Talk, their works enter into a silent conversation, in which painting itself becomes the medium of exchange.
The exhibition invites visitors to slow down and open themselves to what unfolds between color, form, and silence.
