DIFC Sculpture park 2026: Stefano Bombardieri, Hussain Jamil, Manu Alguero

We are pleased to announce our participation in the DIFC Sculpture Park 2026, presenting works by Stefano Bombardieri, Hussain Jamil, and Manu Alguerò.

For the 2026 edition, the DIFC Sculpture Park will showcase a curated selection of large-scale artworks installed throughout the district between 5 March and 30 June 2026. The exhibition transforms DIFC’s iconic urban landscape into an open-air cultural destination, offering visitors the opportunity to experience contemporary sculpture in dialogue with the architecture and public spaces of the financial district.

This year’s presentation by Oblong Contemporary features powerful sculptural works that explore themes of strength, transformation, and human presence within modern environments. On view are Stefano Bombardieri’s Rhino Crack, a striking sculpture reflecting the artist’s exploration of tension between nature and civilization; Manu Alguerò’s The Gold Dress, a refined work embodying elegance and symbolic femininity; and a series of monumental pillars by Hussain Jamil — Parallel 1 (silver pillar), Parallel 2 (green pillar), and Parallel 4 (copper pillar) (2024) — which investigate balance, reflection, and spatial rhythm through minimalist vertical forms.

By integrating sculpture into DIFC’s public realm, the DIFC Sculpture Park continues to reinforce Dubai’s position as a leading global center for art and culture. The initiative invites visitors, professionals, and collectors to engage with contemporary art outside traditional gallery settings, encouraging new perspectives and dialogue between art, architecture, and the city.

The DIFC Sculpture Park also serves as a platform for galleries and artists to present ambitious works to a diverse international audience, transforming the district into a vibrant cultural promenade accessible to the public.
