Unveiling Yaniv Edery Gallery: International artist opens new Edinburgh venue for contemporary art and exclusive events
A new gallery showcasing the work of internationally acclaimed artist, Yaniv Edery, is opening in the heart of Edinburgh, establishing a world-class destination for contemporary art and exclusive private events.
Housed within an elegant Georgian townhouse on the city’s historic Picardy Place, Yaniv Edery Gallery officially opened on Thursday (26 March 2026) marking the artist’s UK debut.
The new gallery, Yaniv Edery’s first in the UK, presents his vibrant, immersive collection of artworks that has captivated audiences worldwide, from private collectors to luxury venues across the globe.
The destination is also introducing a unique new luxury events venue in Edinburgh, available for private hire for weddings and exclusive occasions.
Born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1977, Yaniv’s artistic journey began in fashion and textile design before evolving into a distinctive contemporary practice.
A self-taught artist, he has developed a one-of-a-kind technique through years of experimentation, layering resin over carefully injected acrylic and ink on brushed aluminium. The result is richly textured works with striking dimensionality, extraordinary depth and intricate detail.
Blending bold colour with luxury motifs, Yaniv’s signature animal portraits incorporate resin, crystals, and metallic finishes to create light, reactive pieces that blur the line between pop art and contemporary sculpture.
Each piece is a dynamic, almost living work revealing intricate detail, encouraging viewers to engage with each artwork from multiple perspectives.
Yaniv Edery said: “I’m proud to present my collection in this extraordinary new setting in Edinburgh, a city rich in art, history and culture. 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.”
Throughout his career, Yaniv Edery has led several unique collaborations that blend styles and disciplines. Among the most notable, he was honoured to create a custom piano for Stevie Wonder and to paint family portraits for an array of international celebrities.
Now based in Monaco, Yaniv enjoys international recognition and is represented by prestigious galleries worldwide. His work has been exhibited at Art Basel in Miami, one of the world’s most renowned art fairs, and he was selected as the opening artist for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
For the past eight years, Yaniv has been the official artist of the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort. His pieces also reside in prestigious private collections, including the Royal Palace of Monaco, as well as the homes of Formula One drivers Valtteri Bottas and Charles Leclerc.
The opening marks Yaniv’s first UK gallery, bringing his creative vision to Edinburgh in a space that seamlessly merges contemporary art with a refined event setting.
Located within a UNESCO World Heritage site on 4 Picardy Place, famously the birthplace of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the gallery preserves its classical architectural character while providing a striking backdrop for the distinctive artworks and a versatile setting for events.
Featuring a dedicated function room, reception bar, private basement bar, and boutique suites, the venue combines elegance with versatility, making it ideal for intimate weddings, private gatherings, exclusive business events and celebrations.
Yaniv Edery Gallery operates 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 is available from the gallery on enquiry, but each artwork is produced in a limited-edition collection of five copies per size, a conscious choice that preserves exclusivity while maintaining accessible pricing, despite the complexity and cost of the artist’s process. It is also possible to commission a unique, fully customised, bespoke piece of artwork.
