Of gold and light

A painter and exhibition curator, Emery Baï explores new African narratives and the dialogue between West Africa and Europe. Through his series ‘Of Gold and Light’ and ‘Myths and Allegories’, he reinterprets the conventions of portraiture, alongside African, religious and classical imagery. Drapery, textiles, gilding and symbols explore memory, identity, resistance and the representation of the Black body. The exhibition also brings together works by Mario Epanya, Jérôme Blin, Rahem Ancey and Small Small-Studio. 6–11 October 2026 — H.D Galerie, 45 rue Vivienne, Paris 2nd arrondissement.
