The painter and sculptor Claire Tabouret, born in Pertuis, France, in 1981, lives with an “underwater idea” of a work before she ever puts brush to canvas or hand to plaster. “It would start with the time of patience,” she said in 2021, “living with a desire until it becomes present enough to enter into movement, into action, and then I start painting, sculpting, etc.” Her subject tends to be young people, family relationships, figurative presences loosely painted and held in temporal limbo. Is it now? Then? A dream? This exhibition at Voorlinden is the first major museum show of Tabouret’s work, and it precedes the upcoming unveiling of the six colorful stained-glass windows she has designed for Notre-Dame. Tabouret was chosen from more than 100 submissions by artists, and the windows will go in the south aisle of the nave. —Laura Jacobs
