Mr Thierry Borja de Mozota views the works of Franck Maes at last night's Gallette des rois.

Alliance francaise de Brunei last night held a brief "Gallette des rois" gathering to launch a new series of exhibits featured throughout the year.

The exhibition called "Portraits of Angola" showcased the works of Franck Maes, who took photographs of the sceneries and people during his four-year stay in Angola before he came to Brunei. Mr Maes currently works at Total as an engineer.

His works were once exhibited in Luanda. And now Alliance francaise is inviting people to discover some of the faces of this African country. The exhibition will run until February 13 at the Alliance francaise de Brunei office along Jln Muara.

Present at last night's gathering was the French Ambassador Extraordinaire and Plenipotentiary, Mr Thierry Borja de Mozota. Also present last night was Mr Jose Frietaz Crus, who recently opened Art Forum Brunei 2004 last week.

Alliance francaise de Brunei was formed with the association of Bruneian and French partners in the promotion of French interest and culture in Brunei to promote better understanding between the people of Brunei, France and other nations.
