A new art gallery housed within an elegant Georgian townhouse on Picardy Place promises to become a world-class destination for contemporary art and exclusive private events. The Yaniv Edery Gallery marks the UK debut of the internationally acclaimed artist and it has opened with a collection of his vibrant, immersive collection of artworks that has captivated audiences worldwide.

The Morocco-born artist, who is based in Monaco, has enjoyed global recognition throughout his career. He has been the official artist of the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort for the past eight years and was selected as the opening artist for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

A self-taught artist, through years of experimentation,  he has developed a one-of-a-kind technique layering resin over carefully injected acrylic and ink on brushed aluminium. Blending bold colour with luxury motifs, each piece of art is a dynamic, almost living work revealing intricate detail, that blurs the line between pop art and contemporary sculpture and encourages viewers to engage with it from multiple perspectives.

Edery’s work has been exhibited at some of the world’s most renowned art fairs, including Art Basel in Miami, and pieces of his work have also been brought for inclusion in prestigious private collections, including the Royal Palace of Monaco, and the homes of Formula One drivers Valtteri Bottas and Charles Leclerc.

Yaniv Edery: art is constantly evolving

He has led several unique collaborations that blend styles and disciplines, counting a custom piano he created for Stevie Wonder, alongside family portraits for an array of international celebrities, amongst the most notable of these.  

A selection of his work is on display throughout the gallery. Speaking at the opening, he said: “I’m proud to present my collection in this extraordinary new setting in Edinburgh, a city rich in art, history and culture.”

However, while bringing a wide range of his work to UK audiences for the first time is the main aim of the gallery, it is not the only one, and the gallery seamlessly merges contemporary art with a refined event setting.

As Edery explains “This new gallery is designed to bring contemporary art and curated events together, creating a unique experience where audiences can connect with vibrant, immersive works.

“Art is constantly evolving, and my aim is to celebrate this growth by combining creativity, luxury, and pop culture in a way that engages, inspires, and surprises. I hope this gallery becomes a special place where people come together to explore, reflect, and celebrate, while hosting unforgettable private occasions.”

To this end, the gallery will also serve as a unique new luxury events venue with a dedicated function room, reception bar, private basement bar, and boutique suites, available for private hire for private gatherings, intimate weddings, and exclusive business events and celebrations.

Its location, within the UNESCO World Heritage site on Picardy Place, famously the birthplace of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, makes it an ideal venue for this. The classical architectural character of the building provides both a striking backdrop for the distinctive artworks and a versatile, upmarket setting for boutique events.

The gallery will operate seven days a week for private viewings by appointment, offering visitors the chance to experience the artist’s immersive works firsthand and explore the event spaces. It is also available for private event hire seven days.

Pricing for artworks is available from the gallery on enquiry and it is also possible to commission a unique, fully customised, bespoke piece of artwork.
