Life and work

Louise Robert was born in Montreal, Quebec.[1] She is a pharmacist by training[2] and a self-taught artist who paints by delving into the paint of her canvas.[3] Robert incorporates writing into many of her works, a process she continues to explore.[3] Critics say her work shows the influence of surrealistic automatic writing.[4]

Robert had her first solo exhibition in Montreal in 1969.[5] She has been widely exhibited in Canada and internationally since the 1970s. In 1983–1984, her work was shown in a solo show at the Centre Culturel Canadien, Paris and at the Centre Culturel Canadien, Bruxelles. In 2020, her exhibition titled Louise Robert: Painting and Poetry was held at the Musée d'art de Joliette.[3] Her work is included in many group shos and private and public collections, including those of the National Gallery of Canada,[6] the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Musée d'art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul and the Musée d'art de Joliette.[2]

She lives and works in Montreal.[1]
