Likewise effusive in her expression of female rage and desire, Roger-Lacan maps places where female sexuality lies unbound and the mess of maternity morphs monstrous. A type of worldbuilding, in Roger-Lacan\u2019s embodied, urban landscapes, a lover\u2019s bed, a violent sidewalk encounter, and a painter\u2019s studio meet in a sort of midnight playground. Her fertile cartography, drafted in fragments, stretched textile and paint, spans City of Light and digital screen in a network of selfies, street views and Chat GPT.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As if digging her heels into cold metal stirrups, ready to deliver a family of smaller paintings, Roger-Lacan\u2019s <i>Robe Polygame (Polygamist\u2019s Dress)<\/i> (2025), leans back into a gallery wall and spreads wide her thighs. Her corpulent body bulges with memory and longing. An assemblage of ten unique canvases, Roger-Lacan composed this work with extracts from her archives, painstakingly reassembled. A canavas shaped like France\u2019s hexagone turned on its head and covered in bits of smashed looking glass shines from where this body of work\u2019s heart would be. It\u2019s a fractured \u201cMirror mirror on the wall \u2026\u201d granting answer to Hans Ulrich Obrist\u2019s final of query of his Questionnaire: \u201cIs the mirror broken?\u201d Yes. Very much so. But like Niki de Saint Phalle\u2019e <i>Tableaux Eclat\u00e9s<\/i>, made just after she lost Jean Tinguely, as a way to \u201creassemble shattered pieces of my soul and psyche,\u201d these analog flashbacks from Roger-Lacan\u2019s last seven years announce a moment of creation. With wide eyes and an oiled brush, the artist exposes herself alone. She stages scenes that drift towards fantasy, caressing male bodies, both slipping from life and rising erect in its anticipation. And that cavernous gap opening between the legs of this goddess-like figure anticipates not just vaginal births but primal polygamous pleasure. Fashioning a kaleidoscopic spectrum of possibility for male and female figuration, Roger-Lacan\u2019s painting in the round does not decant into mooning maternal form. She reigns over a realm beyond binaries, beyond, even, the threshold of death.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This summer, Roger-Lacan traveled through Italy (home to Niki de Saint Phalle\u2019s \u201cMecca\u201d of body architecture, <i>Il Giardino dei Tarocchi<\/i>), making pilgrimage to Fra Angelico\u2019s Annunciation and paying tribute to Tracey Emin\u2019s latest exhibition in Florence. In her backpack, Roger-Lacan carried three small paintings now on display here, <i>Frustration<\/i>, <i>Now (Something Lost)<\/i> and <i>Le Hasard<\/i> (the last two, in weighty oil on wood). Back in Paris, these works join five other canvases, as well as three works on paper, and one very revealing color photograph, \u201call communicating,\u201d Roger-Lacan says. As siblings would.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also inside this traveling backpack (that I imagine like a uterus, where this exhibition knit together as Roger-Lacan\u2019s daughter grew inside her womb), she carried Camille Morineau\u2019s <i>Oser le nu<\/i>, where 12th century abbess Hildegard von Bingen gets credit for being first to autrice a male nude; Christopher Ryan and Calcida Jeth\u00e1\u2019s <i>Sex at Dawn<\/i>, a revision of established beliefs about men and women\u2019s sexual natures; and Charlotte Salomon\u2019s <i>Vie ? ou Theatre ?<\/i> a terribly inspirational body of work made as an exiled artist faced an ultimately inescapable Nazi regime in the South of France. These titles answer my questions, Obrist\u2019s too, similarly convinced by Oscar Wilde\u2019s pronouncement: \u201cIt is what you read when you don\u2019t have to, that determines what you will be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>La Robe de ma fille <\/i>hangs central within the gallery\u2019s transforming back hall. In the small gallery nearby, Roger-Lacan\u2019s fresco <i>La Peintre et l\u2019amoureuse<\/i> surrounds the viewer.These final works frame a vision of a future unashamed by \u201cthe pram in the hall\u201d \u2013 fully liberated from that belief that artist and mother form two mutually exclusive roles. Most definitely not a baptismal gown, this child sized silhouette incorporates high color scenes of sexual ecstasy \u2013 a reminder of Roger-Lacan\u2019s fantastic leaps between infantile and erotic. \u201cThe change that counts in revolution takes place first in the imagination,\u201d Rebecca Solnit writes in <i>Hope in the Dark<\/i>. Once referring to an artist\u2019s \u201cexcluded influences\u201d as her \u201cgrandmothers,\u201d Solnit asserts imagination \u2013 fantasy\u2019s terrain &#8212; as power. For Roger-Lacan, vivid imagination and its alchemical translation into composition and form, define her ultimate aim: \u201cThe act of painting and the act of imagination are my goals in all this.\u201d Both impossible, save desire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lillian Davies<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22811,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-22492","expositions","type-expositions","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MADELEINE ROGER-LACAN | Lust and Loneliness - Jousse-entreprise | Art Contemporain<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We are delighted to announce Madeleine Roger-Lacan&#039;s first solo show at Galerie Jousse Entreprise, 6 rue Saint-Claude, 75003 Paris.
