Dizziness

Oil painting, 61x50cm, 2024 Paris

In Vertiges , Jade Mouge plunges us into the meanders of the human mind, where anxiety rubs shoulders with the desire for appeasement. The central figure, painted in a deep blue, seems to waver under the weight of an invisible but overwhelming emotion. The half-closed eyes and the slightly tilted head evoke a moment of floating, as if suspended between reality and a tormented inner world.

The vibrant red, held tightly against her chest, perhaps represents the heart, a source of life, passion, but also vulnerability. This striking contrast between the icy blue of the body and the fiery red of the heart suggests an inner struggle, a fragile balance between the need for protection and the desire to expose oneself to the impulses of existence. In the background, the blurred silhouette of a city, with lights scattered like so many souls lost in the night, reinforces this feeling of solitude in the middle of a crowd.

With Vertiges , Jade Mouge explores the intimacy of fear and resilience. This work, both striking and emotional, invites the viewer to delve into their own vertigo, to accept their weaknesses, and to find beauty in uncertainty.
