Presentation

The LAST WORKS exhibition celebrates the striking and subversive work of Parisian artist "Miss. Tic." A pioneer of stencil art and an emblematic figure of French street art in the 80s and 90s, the only woman to have so thoroughly shattered the glass ceiling of this predominantly male and sometimes violent art form at the time, Miss. Tic transformed the city walls into pages of an intimate and political diary. Both Queen of Spades and Queen of Hearts, her texts, in the form of poetic aphorisms, always hit home.

LAST WORKS refers both to her final works from the second decade of the 21st century and to the fact that these are the last pieces available for sale due to her untimely passing. In these works, her female silhouettes, often dark and sensual, are never mere models. They are the spokespeople for a sharp, ironic, and feminist urban poetry. Each work combines an image with a biting wit: a maxim, a play on words, that questions the role of women, consumer society, or freedom.

The exhibition highlights the evolution of her work, from her spontaneous interventions in the streets of Paris with the Miss Tic Présidente series, to her works on canvas and other media. It reveals how Miss Tic infused the ephemeral and urgent nature of urban art into a remarkably enduring body of work, making her an essential observer of our time.

A poet and visual artist, born on February 20, 1956, in Montmartre, her famous stencils have adorned the walls of the capital for decades. She died on May 22, 2022, in Paris. Her work, initially considered a minor and illegal art form, has since found its way into major institutions: the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Paris Municipal Fund for Contemporary Art, a retrospective in Singapore with the support of the French Embassy, the Georges Pompidou Center, and others.

Her stencils are displayed throughout Paris and have even attracted the attention of Louis Vuitton and Kenzo. The beautiful brunettes of Miss. Tic and her witty remarks were even reproduced by the French postal service for International Women's Day. In 2007, she designed the poster for Claude Chabrol's film *La fille coupée en deux* (The Girl Cut in Two). The Palais des Papes in Avignon dedicated a major retrospective to her in the summer of 2024, which was met with great popular success.
