Miss.Tic had already worked with silk in 2012. A confidential series, limited to 30 copies, accompanied by a secret studio book that very few people ever held in their hands. An almost intimate edition, deliberately at odds with the rawness of her street interventions.
Miss Tic
(1956-2022)
On the walls of Paris
When we began working together in 2017 on the concrete editions with FRAG, returning to silk felt like a natural next step.
Bringing the roughest material into dialogue with the most delicate one. Two extremes that Miss.Tic inhabited without contradiction — one on the walls of Paris, the other in the precision of her line.
She often spoke of silk as an obvious choice — the only material capable of receiving her line without betraying it.
This triptych is the outcome of that dialogue. Three panels, one work. Silk renders the nuance and depth of Miss.Tic’s line with a fidelity that concrete, by nature, cannot. “Je crois en l’éternel féminin”, “Nos peaux aiment d’amour”, “Art du désir ardu désir” — three phrases, three silhouettes, one universe.
Limited to 99 copies, produced with the approval of her estate, this is an exceptional piece in direct continuity with what she stood for: a controlled, coherent edition, worthy of the work.
The Artist
Miss.Tic, poet and visual artist, was born on February 20, 1956, in Montmartre. For decades, her famous stencils have adorned the walls of Paris. She passed away on May 22, 2022, in Paris.
Miss.Tic was a free artist, an emblematic figure of French street art.
Drawing inspiration from advertising methods and imagery, she captured a certain vision of femininity. Her work was both pictorial and poetic, recalling at times the surrealists like Magritte or the affichistes such as Villeglé.
With a touch of false naivety, Miss.Tic’s linework emerges: her characters, like her words, offer readings full of humor, mischief, and sometimes cynicism.
A witch lost in a world without magic.
She delighted in the art of détournement: with her, words and images always meant more than they seemed. Each of her works was an act of commitment, an ethic, a signature—by an iconic, mysterious woman. Miss.Tic: truly one of a kind.
