Starting from today until March 24, dining at La Petite Maison in Dubai will be like attending a dinner party at the home of a renowned art curator. The hottest thing to try at La Petite Maison will not be on the menu, but rather the\u00a0Opera Gallery’scollection of innovative sculptures and paintings from contemporary art masters Jeff Koons and Eduardo Guelfenbein. This collaboration stems from a long relationship and shared values between the two neighboring establishments.<\/p>\n

The American artist\u00a0Jeff Koons’\u00a0iconic balloon animal sculptures, cast in porcelain and vividly colored, reportedly sell for millions of US dollars. In 2013, Koons’ “Balloon Dog (Orange)” smashed the record for any living artist when it sold for USD 58.4 million at auction.<\/p>\n

At La Petite Maison, guests can view Koons’ balloon animal sculptures of a dog, swan, rabbit, and monkey. Also, on display will be “Split-Rocker” – a miniature porcelain version of his planted sculptural form, constructed from halves a of two toy rockers, a pony and a dinosaur.<\/p>\n

Chilean artist\u00a0Eduardo Guelfenbein’s\u00a0unique “liquid abstraction” acrylic paintings combine lines and swirls that resemble a cosmic creation. Guelfenbein, inspired by his nomadic lifestyle and sensibilities, uses bold lines and riveting colors that can infuse the dining experience. The artworks were chosen to complement the vivid and summery colors of the paintings on permanent display in the venue.<\/p>\n
