Jeu d’Ego showcases an immersive investigation into the architecture of the psyche. Presented in the context of the Ma Première Maison de la Culture program, a collaboration with the Ville de Montréal and Voies Parallèles, this solo exhibition marks a pivotal exploration of the friction between external play and internal unrest.

​

Through a vibrant juxtaposition of saturated oil paintings and trompe l'oeil ceramic-like papier-mâché sculptures, Pascale Jean interrogates the concept of psychological discomfort. By employing a subversive, colorful palette, Jean lures the viewer into a space that initially feels whimsical but quickly reveals a deeper, more rigorous reflection on disturbing emotional states and the complexity of the self.

​

The works function as a mirror to the ego, using playful figuration to dissect the very emotions we often seek to suppress.
