Biography

Tabouret received her B.F.A. from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 2006 and studied at Cooper Union, New York, in 2005 as part of a study exchange program.[2]

Tabouret's most famous series may be her 'Makeup' (2015-ongoing) which depicts young women and girls with their faces smeared with cosmetics. The smeared makeup references a child's first attempts at painting.[4]

In 2017, Tabouret exhibited alongside Yoko Ono in the exhibit 'One Day I Broke a Mirror' at Villa De Medici.[5] For the exhibit, she made paintings of groups of women, seated and looking forward, described as warriors, adventuresses, and conquerors.[6]

Also in 2017, Tabouret painted the interior of a chapel on the estate of Pierre Yovanovitch, covering the interior walls of the chapel with a crowd of children in costumes.[7]

For a two part exhibit in both Picasso's studio and Almine Rech Gallery, she painted a series using the subject matter of wrestlers and couples dancing, the struggle and harmony of the two subjects relating to her own feelings about the famous painter whose space she was responding to.[8]
