Société Announces The Representation Of Edi Rama

SOCIÉTÉ is pleased to announce the representation of Edi Rama , artist and current prime minister of Albania.

"Politics is the battle of everyday life. And art is like a prayer.” – Edi Rama

Edi Rama trained as a painter at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tirana, where he later taught as a professor. After several years working as an artist in Paris, he returned to Albania in 1998 to serve as Minister of Culture and has been Prime Minister since 2013. During meetings and phone calls, he covers official documents with spontaneous, stream-of-consciousness drawings that merge artistic intuition with political life.

SOCIÉTÉ will present Edi Rama's work at Frieze London and Art Basel Paris 2025. His first solo exhibition with the gallery will take place during Gallery Weekend Berlin in April 2026.

Edi Rama (b. 1964) lives and works in Tirana. Recent solo exhibitions include Edi Rama at Marian Goodman Gallery, Paris (2024); Improvisations , Zappeion, Athens (2023); and Work , which travelled from Kunsthalle Rostock, Germany (2018) to the Nevada Museum of Art, Reno (2019).
