SATURDAY - visit the gallery for the opening reception for Objet D’Art by Sara Robichaud

Drawing from a collection of domestic objects, Robichaud’s paintings explore memory, use, and material presence. Many works are rendered at a 1:1 scale, pairing close observation with moments of symbolic enlargement.

Combining precise stencil work with fluid paint processes, these large-scale paintings move between restraint and luminosity. Objet D’Art reflects on how everyday objects carry meaning, inviting viewers to slow down and look closely.

THIS Gallery is thrilled to present Objet D’Art, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Sara Robichaud.

Working from a personal archive of domestic objects (tools, utensils, furniture, and inherited items) Robichaud transforms still life into an active visual language shaped by memory, use, and time. Many works are rendered at a 1:1 scale, grounding the paintings in close observation, while shifts in scale introduce moments of metaphor.

Her process moves between precision and fluidity, combining hand-cut stencils with poured and manipulated paint to create surfaces that shift from raw canvas to reflective, iridescent finishes. Mirrors and plant forms appear throughout, linking perception to lived experience and situating the work within cycles of growth and change.
Objet D’Art invites sustained attention, offering a space to reconsider the quiet significance of everyday objects.
