Galerie Bao is proud to represent Phan Quang and his series Re/cover (2013–2016) at the Rencontres d’Arles photography festival. Phan Quang has been shortlisted among the seven finalists for the 2026 Prix Découverte Louis Roederer. The finalists’ exhibition, The Best Possible Way to Tell the Truth…, is curated by Nadine Hounkpatin.
Galerie Bao is presenting in collaboration with the galerie frank elbaz in Paris, the exhibition Re:form. Structured around this spirit of freedom, it traces the practices of five artists from VIetnam, who, since Đổi Mới, have returned to abstraction while breaking away from its earlier conventions.
Galerie Bao is proud to announce that Trương Công Tùng is a joint winner of the Arnaldo Pomodoro Sculpture Prize – 8th edition, alongside Bronwyn Katz, Dan Lie, Yu Ji and Luana Vitra. A gesture of solidarity unanimously praised by the jury and the two foundations, in tribute to Arnaldo Pomodoro, who passed away on 22 June 2025.

Eliza Palmer in Conversation with Richie Nath.
As an artist living in Paris, whilst mentally and emotionally remaining in part in his native Burma, Richie Nath holds space for difficult emotions to feature in his beautiful, colourful, and narrative art. Nath’s stylized imagery evokes romance across various scenes, featuring active rather than passive figures in his tableaux. We discuss his experiences as a young artist having lived in Burma, in England, and in France, as well as his life now, managing turbulent times in many senses of the word. Nath’s art creates the visual story of his reception of such times.

By SUBS
Richie Nath was born twice: once in Yangon, and again in Paris. Since leaving Myanmar in the aftermath of the 2021 coup, he has come to understand what it means to both produce and undo himself. The displacement opened a distance from his mother, one he had not known before, though her presence continues to structure his sense of self.
As the emotional and hierarchical order between mother and son began to fracture, the possibility of self-recognition emerged. His first self-portrait Where Are You?, painted in 2023, does not resolve this rupture but marks its beginning. In this first solo exhibition in Paris, An Oyster Without a Pearl, the artist explores identity, migration, and his complex relationship with his mother through painting drawings and mis-en-scène.
