Three years after her disappearance, the late Miss Tic will be making her return to where it all began: in the13ᵉ arrondissement of Paris. Just a stone’s throw from her former studio, a tribute exhibition will be devoted entirely to her. Like a matter of course. Like a return to his roots. A nod to his immortal art.
In Paris, the first exhibition dedicated to Miss. Tic since her death
The fruit of a four-way collaboration between Antoine and Charlotte Novat, the artist’s stepchildren and guardians of her work, and Mathilde and Gautier Jourdain, founders of the Mathgoth gallery, the “Je suis partie pour rester” exhibition is much more than a eulogy. It’s a journey to the heart of Miss.Tic’s free and subversive thinking. And of course, her beautiful, strong-willed heroines will also be on hand.
The free “Je suis partie pour rester” exhibition
Just a stone’s throw from the BNF, in the heart of a 300 m² raw concrete space, the exhibition promises to be a poetic stroll. On display: some sixty works, personal objects, previously unpublished photos and notebooks. But also stencil matrices never shown before. An entire room will even be devoted to archive videos of Miss. Tic, behind the scenes of her creation. When she entrusted her artistic legacy to Antoine and Charlotte Novat, Miss.Tic said wryly: “It may be a poisoned gift”. For them, the essence of theJe suis partie pour resterexhibition is to immerse visitors in the work, intimacy and thoughts of the eternally talented Miss Tic. A compendium of emotions, to be discovered from September 27, 2025.
Miss. Tic, free, proud and committed street art
Since the 80s, Miss.Tic has made the walls of Paris the showcases of her thoughts. With her dreamy, femme fatale silhouettes, always proudly assumed, the feminist poetess of street art had imposed a style all her own. A liberated, piquant femininity that asks no-one’s permission.
“Man is a wolf to man and a slob to woman”, “I’ve slept with an army of feelings”, “The body on a diet lies”… These are just some of the incisive, cult phrases , deceptively light, that dress her modern, witty muses. On the walls of Montmartre, Ménilmontant or the Butte-aux-Cailles, her heroines, looking like urban pin-ups, take back the power. Far from the woman-object, her muses are witty, provocative, romantic, undisciplined and passionately paradoxical. A bit like today’s women…
