Femmes passives 

Miss.Tic made "Femmes passives" using stencils and spray paint, applied directly to an urban wall. The very nature of spray paint – quick, accessible, and associated with street art – contrasts sharply with the historical baggage of the painted female nude. The texture of the wall becomes part of the work itself. Its rough, weathered surface, complete with cracks and stains, couldn't be more different from the smooth canvas of a traditional painting. Miss.Tic uses a reproduced image of a classic work by Ingres and combines this with wordplay. By using stencils, she speeds up the production process, allowing her to intervene rapidly in the social landscape. This direct engagement with the street challenges the traditional, often elitist, spaces of art consumption. The medium itself becomes a statement, democratizing art and making it accessible to a wider audience, sparking a conversation about the role of women and their representation. Ultimately, understanding "Femmes passives" means appreciating how Miss.Tic uses material, process, and location to subvert expectations.
