Le Carnaval (le héros)
2015
acrylic and fabric on canvas
46 x 38 centimeters
Unique

The small sized portraits from the series Le Carnaval depict young characters wearing costumes in close-up. The small pieces of fabrics added to the painting emphasize the importance of costume in the work of Claire TABOURET: it stands for theatrical as well as social costume. The childhood represented by the artist is lucid and determined; the kids want to escape their costumes. There is a strong energy in Claire TABOURET's paintings that comes from inside the paint. She obscures her paintings by the superimposition of several layers of darker colors upon a first layer is always a neon color. This first coat spreads out from the edge of the canvas to illuminate the wall and gives to the scenery a mental light, electric yet almost dulled, indefinable.
