MADELEINE ROGER-LACAN | Lust and Loneliness | 6 rue Saint-Claude 75003
In situ 11 October 2025 - 22 November 2025We are delighted to announce Madeleine Roger-Lacan’s first solo show at Galerie Jousse Entreprise, 6 rue Saint-Claude, 75003 Paris. The opening will take place on Saturday 11 October 2025 from 4pm to 8pm, in the presence of the artist.
Madeleine Roger-Lacan is a painter who graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2018. In 2016, she was invited to study at the Slade School of Fine Art in London—a pivotal moment that rooted her painting in an intimate experience, where narrative, the body, and fantasy became her primary materials. Her work, grounded in figurative motifs, delves into the layers of consciousness, particularly when confronted with the complexity of desire and the imaginary of female sexuality.
In her practice, she combines painting, sculpture, and installation, challenging the traditional boundaries of the canvas: she cuts, glues, assembles, paints directly on walls or wood, and plays with pictorial conventions in order to expose their underlying tensions. Her work is nourished by a sensual imagination, references to popular culture, words inscribed into matter, and a constant focus on the body—its absences, metamorphoses, and contradictory impulses.
She has participated in numerous group exhibitions in France and abroad, including Copistes (2025) and Lacan, When Art Meets Psychoanalysis (2024) at the Centre Pompidou-Metz; Entre tes yeux et les images que j’y vois (2022) at Fondation Ricard; Luxe, Calme et Volupté (2025) at the Malmaison art center in Cannes; and Cinématisse (2019) at the Musée Matisse in Nice. Her work is part of the collection of the Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain des Sables d’Olonne. In July 2025, Roger-Lacan received the Pierre Cardin Prize for painting.
