Tabouret
Claire Tabouret was born in Paris in 1981. She works with images from the past, such as photographs, childhood memories and old paintings, which she reworks in paintings and ceramic sculptures. The people she depicts always look at the viewer straight in the eye, communicating an uneasy and uncomfortable sense of melancholy. Light is everything in her work. She uses light as a true pictorial means, modelling the outlines of her subjects through tone and luminosity. Tabouret is particularly attracted to group portraits, where people, taken out of their usual environments, occupy enigmatic and timeless spaces.
