Claire Tabouret (b. 1981, Pertuis, France; lives in Los Angeles, CA) is a painter and sculptor who explores identity and the passage of time through figurative subjects and a distinctive color palette. In addition to her upcoming (2025) exhibitions at the Grand Palais in Paris and Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, France, Tabouret has been commissioned by the French government to redesign a portion of Notre Dame’s stained glass windows, which will be installed by late 2026. Her work has been acquired by notable institutions, such as the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Yuz Museum, Shanghai, China; and the Pinault Collection, Paris.
