Press Release

Marguo is pleased to announce (Nice Dream), Alexandre Yang’s first solo exhibition in Paris, opening autumn 2026. Taking its title from the 1990s song by British rock band Radiohead, the exhibition explores similar themes: a protagonist’s fantasy unfolds in which they dream themselves at the centre of their loved ones’ lives — cherished and adored — yet remain, in reality, isolated in a reverie from which they never wake.

A master of the art of auto-fiction, Alexandre Yang stages personal history and its intimate dramas in a meticulous paintings with medievalizing settings, interwoven with numerous references to the role-playing games, video games and television series of which the artist is a devotee. In contrast with the faithful rendering of details and textures, landscapes and architectures with truncated, non-realistic perspectives are populated by odd figures of strange proportions, more vulnerable than heroic — so many avatars of the artist and those close to him.

About the Gallery

Founded in late 2020 by art world veterans Vanessa Guo and Jean-Mathieu Martini, Marguo is a Paris-based contemporary art gallery nestled in the Marais, dedicated to championing emerging and early-career artists from around the globe. Drawing inspiration from the founders’ rich cultural heritages and global perspectives, Marguo bridges Eastern and Western artistic sensibilities, amplifying voices often sidelined by mainstream institutions. Embracing a spirit of hybridity, Marguo weaves together local, international, and digital narratives, reflecting an unwavering conviction that art and life are intricately entwined. At its heart lies a dynamic exhibition program—strengthened by participation in major art fairs and bold off-site initiatives—that propels its mission forward. This vision is enriched by complementary endeavors: Casa Marguo, an artist residency and salon set within a historic townhouse on the Balearic island of Menorca; Marguo Books, a platform for editorial projects; and Bar Saka, an artisanal mixology bar adjacent to the gallery in the Marais (launched in 2024), reimagining the fusion of art and hospitality.
