Gallery Isabelle Van Den Eynde

A small space with an eye on the region’s up-and-comers
Noteworthy for: The gallery represents a handful of extremely talented young Iranian artists.

Compared to the likes of The Third Line, the dimensions at Gallery Isabelle Van Den Eynde are fairly modest. Still, this relative newcomer to the Al Quoz art scene gets some interesting young artists gracing its halls, some of whom have gone on to exhibit at the Venice Biennale and contemporary art fairs in Abu Dhabi, Marrakesh and Brussels.
Past exhibits include an incredibly vivid photo installation by South African twins Hasan and Husain Essop examining the role of Islam in secular societies, and the surreal overlapping drawings of Persian artist Farshid Maleki. The exhibits are always well thought out, and display some of the most provocative art coming out of the Middle East.
