Taroop & Glabel
-
Working together since 1993, Taroop & Glabel is a group of artists who seek to challenge conventional social values. Religion, trade in all forms, easy entertainment and spectacle, military orders, mass media, and anything that alienates humans from their conscience. Taroops & Glabel’s work is in keeping with their spirit: working surreptitiously, changing just one word, one comma, one small detail to alter everything. Their work consists of impeccably produced panels, graphic pages, humorist comic drawings, as well as installations, such as large-scale adhesive texts and drawings. In one of their well-known works, the name Jesus Christ is laid out in bold black capital letters on a lustrous bronze ground followed by one small clinching detail – a circled R, the symbol for registered, transforming the piece into a sign for a vulgar commercial brand. Their name is a play on words or rather a lighthearted allusion to the “third eye” expressed in French.
