DO NOT CROSS THIS LINE BECAUSE I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS DIPTYCH - 2021

The work is created by transferring an acrylic airbrush painting to a foil that is placed over aluminum sheeting at high temperature that thermally sublimates pigment into the aluminum. An automotive type, high gloss finish is added to intensify the colors and also to allow reflections of the surrounding space to be incorporated into the work. 

The painting  is dominated by intense red hues with subtle variations in tone and depth. There are smooth gradients blending warm red and orange tones, creating a sense of movement and energy. A faint, slightly curved line runs across both panels, adding a minimal yet impactful compositional element.

The abstract style and vibrant color field evoke associations with artists like Mark Rothko or James Turrell, where color and light play a central role in the emotional and spatial experience of the artwork. The simplicity and boldness of the red create a powerful, immersive visual effect.

Presentation

Michel Tabori, born in Paris in 1956 and raised in New York, is a French-American artist renowned for his innovative visual artistry. He is based in Paris, Marbella and Venice Beach. Before transitioning to the art world, Tabori spent over three decades working globally as a director, producer, writer, and cinematographer. This extensive experience in film and television profoundly influences his current artistic endeavors.

Tabori's work often begins as studies of nature, experienced directly or through reflections of the subject's surroundings. He seeks to create a feeling of motion through nature, in a way precluded by casual, stationary observation.

Tabori's artistic journey reflects a seamless integration of his cinematic background with his passion for visual art, resulting in works that invite viewers to experience nature and motion from a unique perspective. His early work came about while driving through densely wooded, western forests at high speed on a Harley Davidson. Endless configurations of passing multi-shaped greens, reds, oranges, yellows and blues of varying shades and tones, along with constantly changing, misty shadows and rainy reflections merged with intense rays of California sunlight or bright beams of penetrating moonlight. The higher the speed, the more motion there is to see and feel, the more powerful the experience becomes. More recently, he incorporated these same techniques while travelling through the south of France, particularly in Provence. Conveying this in his paintings, they become a representation of the interplay of all these components.

Tabori's artistic journey led him back to Europe five years ago, where he immersed himself in the atmospheric light that inspired the Impressionists. This shift influenced his exploration of erotic themes, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek mythology, Spanish Flamenco, and the French concept of "rêve d'amour". His works are abstract, poetic reactions to personal experiences, delving into notions of love, eroticism, identity, and gender fluidity.
