Manon Blet is a French figurative artist based in Tokyo. Her practice is rooted in oil painting on canvas. She explores the effects of the gaze of others on the construction of identity, taking her own experience as a woman in an increasingly unstable contemporary world as a point of departure. Through figures, familiar objects, and symbolic elements, she translates emotional states shaped by the desire to belong, to be recognized, while also striving to preserve one's individuality. Her paintings bring together softness and unease, creating a sense of curiosity. Through her work, she invites viewers to reconsider the intimate female experience from a new perspective.
