NOTICE
French artist Claire Tabouret is renowned for her powerful, enigmatic portraits, exploring themes of identity, intimacy and collective memory. Her works, often in oil or acrylic, are distinguished by their intense colors and captivating figures. Tabouret creates compositions in which her figures, often children, adolescents or groups, seem frozen in a moment of contemplation or introspection, surrounded by an aura of mystery and vulnerability.
Tabouret's figures, with their often piercing gaze and frozen poses, seem to be inhabited by unspoken stories, lending each canvas a psychological depth. Inspired by old photographs and archives, she recreates group scenes where each character, though seemingly united with the others, retains a strong individuality. Tabouret's technique, with its visible layers of paint and variations in texture, reinforces the tactile, sensitive character of her works.
Close to artists such as Marlene Dumas for the emotional intensity of her portraits and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye for her ability to capture the human presence, Claire Tabouret is today a rising figure in contemporary art. Her works are exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, appreciated for their ability to capture the essence of human emotions and establish an intimate, silent dialogue with the viewer.
