Isabelle van den Eynde Gallery is one of the most exciting spaces in Alserkal Avenue. It represents some of the region’s most forward-thinking artists and is known for exhibitions that aren’t afraid to experiment or challenge ideas. The gallery has played a big role in shaping how contemporary art from the Middle East is seen internationally. 

What’s on Currently

Rumors From the Skies by Abdelkader Benchamma

Running from September 18, 2025, Rumors from the Skies is French artist Abdelkader Benchamma’s third solo show at the gallery. The exhibition features a new series of detailed ink drawings and an immersive wall installation exploring celestial phenomena and how myth, science, and superstition shape our view of the skies. Benchamma’s work blends the surreal and the scientific, creating dreamlike worlds that question how we understand space and time.

Personal Sea by Mahmoud El Safadi

Currently on view at Gallery Isabelle, Personal Sea (2025) features a series of miniature paintings by Mahmoud El Safadi that reflect on memory, inheritance, and the Mediterranean as a space of connection and loss. Through small, intimate works painted on playing cards, El Safadi revisits his grandfather’s journeys across the Eastern Mediterranean, turning the sea into a site where personal and historical narratives intertwine.
