Jean-Yves Tabourot

‘Motor Racing is like Art: both are about describing a line’.

Rarely has this been truer than in the work of Jean-Yves Tabourot. In a ‘former life’ Jean Yves was leading a team of remarkable people building cutting-edge gearboxes for Williams F1 and latterly the build and development of the Jaguar CX75, famously featured in James Bond ‘Spectre’.

All these years combining engineering with artistry have led JYT on fascinating journeys of creative discovery, working with and immortalising the cars he and his clients love in his distinctive way, capturing the style and soul of these beautiful machines through their exquisite lines, details and features.

He is based in the heart of the UK’s illustrious ‘motorsport valley’ – the famous strip of Oxfordshire that is home to such notable names as Williams, Alpine, Mercedes, Aston Martin and Red Bull. Jean Yves’ work is now focussed mostly on exclusive commissions paintings for classic car owners and corporate work, but his portfolio is almost entirely available in limited edition prints; these are giclée printed on high quality Hahnemühle etching 310 grs paper, all numbered and signed by the artist, so we are delighted to showcase some of his work in Dolphin Gallery.
