A couple’s black stencilled profiles lean toward each other on a collage of pink and mauve paper, the phrase “L’Émoi Passe” hand-painted above them.
MISS.TIC
Radhia Novat, known as Miss.Tic, was born in 1956 in Montmartre and grew up in Paris before spending the early 1980s between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Back in France, she began working with stencils in 1985 and took part that same year in the first graffiti and urban art gathering in Bondy, alongside Blek le Rat and Futura 2000.
A pioneering figure of Parisian stencil art, she paired her silhouettes of women with short, poetic texts, work now held in the collection of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.
