Claire Tabouret is providing a fresh face to figurative portraiture. Characterized by close-cropped portraits of enigmatically rendered figures, Tabouret rebelliously defies conventions associated with figuration. Her form vacillates between grounding solidity and dynamic fluidity, while her seemingly innocuously beautiful subject matter is imbued with a haunting sense of darkness. The Blue Pyramid offers an exceptional example of Tabouret's complex and disquieting work. The precariousness of figures' arrangement and the ambiguity of their facial expressions and designated gender, as well as the subtly toxic color palette evokes a quiet sense of unease that undeniably excites.
