1997, lives and works at Paris, France
Pol Taburet’s (Paris, France, 1997) work is a heady and iconoclastic mix of references that range from the artist’s own Caribbean background, the region’s synchretic voodoo traditions and belief systems, wider contemporary culture, as well as classical painting. Born in 1997, the artist has rapidly gained attention with his idiosyncratic painterly style, which he has developed by incorporating the use of airbrushing alongside traditional brush painting with acrylic colors. The formal result is a unique contraposition of textures and finishings, of painstaking detail, “impressionistic” suggestion and symbolism.
Pol Taburet’s work has been included in institutional group exhibitions such as Des Corps Libres – Une jeune scène française, Reiffers Art Initiatives, Paris (2022); Worst Case Scenario, curated by Chloé Bonnie Moore, Paris (2021); Drawing a Blank, curated par Ben Broom, Paris (2021); Let us in III, Clichy (2019); and Let us in I, Clichy (2018). His work is also included in public collections Pinault Collection, Paris and Lafayette Anticipations, Paris.
