Pol Taburet’s work iconoclastically blends references ranging from his Caribbean origins to syncretic voodoo traditions, in dialogue with contemporary culture and the history of classical painting. The artist has quickly made a name for himself with a singular pictorial language, based on a hybrid technique combining airbrush and brush painting.

This process generates contrasting textures and finishes, where precision of detail, impressionistic suggestions and symbolism intersect. While his world is characterized by youthful energy and a resolutely contemporary aesthetic, it is also rooted in influences such as Francis Bacon and Baroque and religious art, without ever submitting to them.

Populated by figures that are often hybrids, on the border between human and animal, his paintings evoke states of passage between life and death. Instinctive, Taburet discovers his forms and their meanings through gesture, giving his work a diffuse, deeply inhabited spiritual dimension.
