Arthur Yang’s Exhibition in Montpelier
Mia Macfarlane
A Major Multidisciplinary Exhibition at La Galerie Électrique of Arthur Yang’s work
Arthur Yang presents a major exhibition at La Galerie Électrique in Montpellier from 30 January to 29 March 2026. The show brings together painting, sculpture, graphic works, and photography in a single presentation. For the first time, these disciplines appear side by side in a coherent and carefully structured exhibition.
A Curated Reading of Yang’s Practice
Rather than functioning as a retrospective, the exhibition offers a clear curatorial statement. It examines how Yang’s different mediums interact and inform one another. Moreover, the selection highlights his long-standing focus on materiality, figuration, and the human image. At the same time, it explores the balance between surface and space that runs through his work. As a result, the exhibition provides new insight into the internal logic that underpins Arthur Yang’s creative journey.
Photography as a Central Element
Photography plays a central role and stands as one of the exhibition’s defining features. In particular, the portraits featuring Yang’s model shape the visual identity of the show. The artist has confirmed their importance within the overall presentation. Notably, these photographs directly interact with his paintings. Yang paints scenes from the flat canvas onto the model’s body, then photographs the result. Consequently, the photographic works bring the paintings into physical space. They activate the imagery and extend it beyond the canvas. Rather than acting as supporting material, the photographs continue the paintings and strengthen the exhibition’s narrative cohesion. In this way, Arthur Yang’s innovative approach connects photography and painting seamlessly.
Visiting Information
The exhibition is open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday, from 14:00 to 18:00. It takes place at La Galerie Électrique, located at L’Arbre blanc, 34000 Montpellier.

Overall, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to discover Yang’s diverse creativity. You will see the full scope of his work within a single, carefully curated exhibition at La Galerie Électrique. For many viewers, this may serve as their defining encounter with Arthur Yang’s artistic legacy.

One day when I was barely two my mom let me push her out of her bedroom. She was curious so she ran outside the house so she could watch me through the window. I climbed up on a chair by her vanity and started putting on her makeup. I loved playing dress up as a kid. Putting on my mom's sequin tube tops and high heeled shoes and then putting on a dance show in the lobby or the restaurant of the hotel/residence we lived in. It was the best childhood ever. Dress-up, dancing, playing with barbies, and drawing were my favorite things to do. I have not changed one bit today. If I am creating I am happy.
Now I am in Paris for the second time in my life and I am having a ball playing with my partner in crime Julien Crouigneau. We founded IRK Magazine together in 2015 and we are proud to collaborate with some amazing artists, and influencers.
We are also a photography duo under the pseudonym French Cowboy. We love to tell stories and create poetic images that are impactful.
