Galerie Bao is presenting in collaboration with the galerie frank elbaz in Paris, the exhibition Re:form - A Glimpse of Abstraction in Vietnam since Đổi Mới. 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.
The duo exhibition by Huỳnh Công Nhớ and Pecut Sumantri, presented in collaboration with RUCI Arts Space (Jakarta), explores faith, belief, and the human condition through scenes of everyday life. Moving between stark realism and dreamlike abstraction, the exhibition brings together painting and cinematic sensibilities to reveal moments where the ordinary slips into quiet unreality. Rooted in Southeast Asian contemporary art, the works reflect on living, believing, and persisting in an age marked by uncertainty and precarity.
An acoustic set of voice and guitar, featuring five songs with stories that echo the spirit of An Oyster Without a Pearl. Each piece reflects on loss, memory, and becoming, embracing what is unfinished yet deeply human.
Drawing from the work of scholars such as Sylvia Shin Huey Chong and artists like Dinh Q. Lê, the presentation of Éléonore Tran investigates the merging of fictional and documentary imagery and its impact on cultural memory. She offers a critical reflection on the images produced in and about Vietnam during the American War (1955–1975). In contrast, Võ An Khánh’s rarely exhibited black-and-white photographs — reveal the everyday realities of those who lived, resisted, and survived in the mangrove forests of Vietnam.
As part of the closing of the group exhibition Tales Without Time – Poetry of Storytelling at Galerie Zink, Paris-based gallerist and curator Le Thien-Bao will prepare a traditional Northern Vietnamese Phở—Vietnam’s beloved noodle soup—inviting guests to share a moment of warmth, connection, and conversation.
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.
