Steve Bandoma's 'Pomme de discorde' Exhibition at Galerie Angalia in Paris

Congolese painter Steve Bandoma presents 'Pomme de discorde', a political and offbeat exhibition at Galerie Angalia in Paris, running until June 20. Bandoma, trained in Kinshasa, has expanded his creative universe through travels to South Africa, Europe, and the United States. His work, which began with paper and collage, now encompasses canvas, producing a prolific, humorous, and engaged body of work. The exhibition coincides with a landmark moment for the Democratic Republic of Congo: the 2026 Venice Biennale marks the first time the country has its own pavilion, featuring nine artists including Bandoma, highlighting the country's inventive art scene. Bandoma was a guest on RFI's program with Nathalie Amar. The article also mentions street artist Bordalo II, known for monumental animal installations made from recycled materials, but this is not part of the exhibition.
