Pol Taburet, Opera III exhibition at Lafayette Anticipations
Pol Taburet the next star of the French contemporary scene? In any case, all eyes are turned to this 25-year-old young man who, after making the front page of specialized magazinesand electrifying the scene {16 }Californian at the end of a frenzied solo show in Los Angeles, unveils the ulttime of a trilogy of bewitching exhibitions. A final chapter with tragic accents that deals with thepower of dreams and nightmares in the work of a promising artist, haunted { 31}by the tales of his childhood. With his mutant, half-human, half-animal creatures, Pol Taburet brings to life his chimerical hallucinations that are not without recall The Caprices of Goya or the Erinyes of Francis Bacon, these vengeful goddesses who hunt down guilty men. Freely inspired by American rap, subculture and Creole quimbois, the painter draws this macabre iconography mainly from Caribbean mythology and its soucougnans, these wizards who have made a pact with the devil and end up removing their skin to turn into an immense black bird. Born in the intimacy of Pol Taburet, these character-spirits escape from it to come and populate the dark corners of this disastrous exhibition.
