WHERE ART MEETS FOOD

GAL RESTAURANT AND GALLERY27 DUBAI - MANASSE RAMPINO LIVE PERFORMANCE

Introducing Gal, a contemporary Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant situated at the Ground Floor of Address Downtown Dubai. You may not have been there but I am sure you have seen photos of people sitting on a crescent shaped sculpture, with the Burj Khalifa in the backdrop. They have recently collaborated with Gallery27, whereby pieces of art are now being showcased within the restaurant. I’ll be honest – I am no art expert. The only artistic ability I have in me is writing – if you consider this art. So I was glad I brought along a good friend of mine to catch up – she, on the other hand, had much more insight to the art world than I did.

Watching Manasse Rampino do a live painting of Marilyn Monroe was fascinating and equally impressive. “If my 5-year old asked me to draw a horse it will probably look like a goat. A lot of respect for artists who can create art, more so live, in front of so many people” wrote the magazine Lil One Of The Ashes.
