Miss.Tic and Montpellier's Moving Art Exhibition
French artist Miss.Tic was born in 1956 in Montmartre. She spent her childhood there until 1964 when the family moved to Orly, in the southern suburbs. When she was ten, she lost her mother, her younger brother and her grandmother in a car accident. Then, when she was sixteen her father died. She was then raised by her stepmother and started to work on stencil art. She moved to Californiain the early 1980s.
She moved back to Paris and started to express herself on the walls of several arrondissements in Paris. In 1985 she signed her first personal exhibition based on her art. Since then she has kept on spreading her ideas through poems and wordplay on the walls and in books or exhibitions.
In 2013, Miss.Tic was announced the winner of a competition to have their art adorn the carriages of the new Ligne 5 tramway in Montpellier.
But the new line was met with opposition and and its construction cancelled. It has recently been reapproved and construction is once again underway. Will we ever see Miss.Tic's moving art gallery ?
