Street artist Jace, known globally for his iconic Gouzou character, opens a free solo exhibition titled "Cœur Sensible" (Sensitive Heart) in a 300 m² pop-up space in Paris's 13th arrondissement, running from May 30 to July 4, 2026. Organized in collaboration with Mathgoth Gallery, the show features around sixty works across three sections: a large spray-painted mural of yellow Gouzou figures, provocative pieces on salvaged materials (including a Gouzou with a Donald Trump haircut erasing the planet), and a poignant series marking the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, created after Jace's 2019 trip to Pripyat. A 3D sculpture edition is available for collectors at 1,000 euros each, limited to 50 pieces.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the enduring cultural impact of Jace's Gouzou—a faceless, universally relatable character that has appeared in over thirty countries across four continents since 1992. The show also demonstrates how street art galleries like Mathgoth continue to elevate urban artists by providing immersive, free-access experiences that blend humor, social commentary, and historical reflection. The Chernobyl section adds a layer of documentary gravity, using Jace's firsthand photographs and a film by Sami Chalak to engage audiences with a major historical event through contemporary art.
