Paul Bai works in various media including painting, sculpture, video, photography and collage. Throughout his practice, Bai poses a consistent interest in the notion of space, by adopting the tradition of conceptual art, he re-instigates the topic of ‘content and context’ by displaying the ambiguous nature of spatiality that is both conceptual and physical. He has exhibited with Pestorius Sweeney House, Institute of Modern Art Brisbane, Singapore Art Museum, Yuill/Crowley Gallery Sydney, University of Queensland Art Museum, Sarah Cottier Gallery Sydney, Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne.
