Miss-Tic in Paris

From the 80′s, Miss-Tic makes the streets of Paris at the service of her art. Along with Blek le Rat, the maximum representative of the movement “au pochoir” (in English, drawing template) who was born in the suburbs of New York in the seventies, that originated in Paris. Figurative representations – especially female figures – made with the help of templates (pochoirs) invade from the beginning of the metro stations as well as many streets in Paris and are accompanied by text: eye-catching slogans while provocative, including poetry, where the artist invites reflection as citizens who are in the whirlpool of metropolitan life.

If you are visiting Paris, it is impossible not to find Miss Tic and her artistic mates’ graffiti. This woman, born in Paris in 1956, and considered the “Princess of the graffiti” since 1985 – was born as Miss Tic’s – her works not only cover the walls of Paris, but also up to the Olympus of famous. She just finished to be called to collaborate with major fashion designers (Louis Vitton, Comme Garçon, Kenzo), as well as with French satirical magazines, museums, festivals, publishers, and international contemporary art fairs.

Also “La Poste” (Post Office) has published a series of stamps of her work. It was on the occasion of the Women’s Day (the 8^th of March) that Miss Tic drew her most assertive and feminists women. Since then, her rebellious women – and men too – are everywhere not just in Paris but also in many other places in the world. Nobody knows how is called the “papessa del pochoir”, the artist hides under her real name the mystery for 30 years. But Miss-Tic is the heroine of many who revere her art and the many followers on this path.

Thanks to her – and all the artists of the movement – graffiti and tags are now considered vandalism, and entered museums and art galleries as an artistic expression of the new era.

For all Street Art’s fans, part of the works done by Miss-Tic will be on display in the Miss-Tic Exhibition, from the 14^th of January until the 17^th of February, outside of Paris (15 kilometers from the center of the French capital). It will be a nice opportunity to visit the city of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame and … naturally of Miss-Tic’s sexy and smart women.
