One Za’abeel Unveils Exclusive Showcase of Renowned Artist Diana Al-Hadid's Monumental Works

One Za’abeel, Dubai’s iconic landmark destination, is partnering with Galleri Brandstrup and Bureau Safavid to showcase the internationally acclaimed works of renowned, highly collected artist Diana Al-Hadid. Between 26 March - 15 April, visitors can immerse themselves in an exclusive preview of Al-Hadid’s monumental work before it is displayed in Art Dubai later in April. Admission to the exhibit is free of charge and open at The Plaza, One Za’abeel, between 9 AM - 9 PM daily.

The showcase is One Za'abeel's latest initiative under its ‘Curated at One’ calendar of culture-defining events. With its architectural elegance in the city's heart, the iconic destination provides the perfect venue for the timeless showcase.

For a limited time, Dubai residents and visitors can experience the Syrian-born, Brooklyn-based artists’ work first-hand. Renowned for her intricate, large-scale pieces that blur the lines between reality and fantasy, Al-Hadid’s rich work is an elaborate study of space and structure, engaging the viewer continuously through its constant shift and flow of perspectives.

Inspired by historical civilisations, mythology, and scientific advancements, major institutions, including The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Misk Art Institute in Riyadh, and The Presidential Court in Abu Dhabi, have exhibited and collected her ethereal and layered works.

The artwork is presented in partnership with Galleri Brandstrup, a pioneering Norwegian art gallery, and Bureau Safavid, a local curatorial platform that fosters visionary artists. Lisa Brandstrup Al-Mulla, from Galleri Brandstrup, says: “We are honoured to present Diana Al-Hadid’s work in Dubai in such an iconic setting. Her practice embodies a dialogue between memory, architecture, and cultural identity, making One Za’abeel a meaningful stage for her powerful and timely works.”
