Filipino Artist Sean Go Holds Exhibit At Prestigious Paris Gallery
The Hoang Beli Gallery is pleased to present "Pop Go The Fable," featuring the innovative work of Filipino artist Sean Go. This pop art exhibition will explore new narratives and cultural reinterpretations through the vibrant and dynamic lens of Sean Go, opening April 17, 2025 at the prestigious HOANG BELI Gallery in Le Marais, Paris.
This exhibition marks Go's return to Paris, following successful showings at venues including PAB Aguiar Bianco earlier this year. The artist has steadily built an international presence with exhibitions in Japan, the US, and across Asia, establishing himself as an emerging voice in the global contemporary art scene.
Sean Go is an emerging figure in Filipino contemporary art, known for bold work that fuses pop culture with traditional narratives. Combining Filipino influences with modern techniques, his colorful art examines identity, colonial legacies, and capitalism's impact on local cultures. Go's visual approach challenges power dynamics and invites viewers to reconsider dominant narratives.
The exhibit showcases Go's fascination with storytelling, reinventing classic tales through a modern pop framework. The show's title begs to ask – "whose fable?" – and in this exhibition there is a blend of American, European, and Asian fables, which are in some ways remixed into new possibilities. Through paintings, installations, and digital works, Go creates dialogue about contemporary issues while allowing audiences to appreciate both the beauty of his art and its deeper social commentary.
This exploration of cultural dialogue makes HOANG BELI Gallery an ideal venue for Go's work. Established in 2023 by founder John Hoang, the gallery has quickly become a significant cultural hub in Le Marais. As a passionate advocate for artists from the Asian diaspora, Hoang has dedicated his gallery to amplifying their voices and bringing their unique perspectives to the Parisian art scene.
The gallery's mission centers on art that transcends cultural boundaries while maintaining authentic connections to personal identity—principles that Sean Go's work exemplifies. His reimagining of classic fables creates a universal visual language that resonates across generations and backgrounds, making the exhibition particularly fitting for HOANG BELI's commitment to promoting cultural diversity and creating meaningful platforms for dialogue between diverse artistic traditions.
Go's signature style, which mashes up iconic imagery from pop culture, comics, and animation, explores profound themes of identity, consumerism, and social commentary. In "Pop Go The Fable," each piece serves as a starting point for reflection on identity and culture in an ever-evolving world.
