PRISES DE TÊTE
By artist-illustrator PIZ
An exhibition addressing the mental "fog" caused by mental overload
PART OF MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEKS 2026
Ranging from headaches to disheveled visages, my *Prise de Tête* (Head Trip) series playfully uses graphic, exaggerated forms to imagine characters defined in symbolic and abstract ways.
But how can one convey emotions, a strong identity, or a psychological state through lines, shapes, and patterns?
Are my characters defined by the appearance they present to the viewer? Are they ordinary or
strange? Do they resemble us?
In exploring these questions, I sought to create subjects with distinctive, "symptomatic" outlines that
prompt us to reflect on our own personalities as well as how we perceive others.
