The Dominican's Artistry Experience

Design September - Imaginair

Art and Design at The Dominican for Design September 17-09.2025 - 30-10.2025

The Dominican Presents Design September in collaboration with Imaginair

IMAGINAIR Art/Space & Gallery at The Dominican

IMAGINAIR Art/Space & Gallery in Brussels, founded by multidisciplinary artist Katrien Vanderbiest and artist/designer Geoffrey Lambert, specialises in collectible design, contemporary art, and photography. The gallery collaborates with a core collective of designers, alongside a curated selection of rotating artists and photographers.

With an artist-led approach, IMAGINAIR creates exhibitions where contemporary works are brought together in unique scenographies, offering visitors a fresh perspective on art and design.

For Design September, IMAGINAIR has been invited by The Dominican to bring this vision into the hotel’s historic public spaces. The resulting installation blurs the line between art and design, with a scenography inspired by the neighbouring opera house: at once classic and contemporary, baroque yet subtle.

Featured designers and collective: Château Resort, Debora Vancayzeele, ECHOES, Geoffrey Lambert & Katrien Vanderbiest, Onas Uytdewilligen, Oskar De Roover, Tine Loncin, Veerle Verschooren

Featured artists: Jaïr Marc Castillo, Monica Piloni, Ruben Boeren, Théodora Chiou

During Design September., these same designers and artists will also be showcased in a completely different setting at the gallery in Ixelles, highlighting the versatility and creativity of their work.

Visit The Dominican this September and experience the inspiring dialogue between art, design, and the city’s historic architecture.

Unveiling Our First Artistic Collaboration of 2025 – Eva Lynen

Continuing our commitment to supporting the arts, we are proud to present the first artistic collaboration of 2025

From February 8 onward, this captivating exhibition will be on display for three months, showcasing the distinctive work of Eva Lynen who masterfully blends painting and illustration to create immersive storytelling experiences.

The featured artist approaches storytelling through a unique visual language, crafting imagined worlds filled with intriguing characters and settings. Her work captures the essence of small, often overlooked moments in daily life—the quiet, humorous, and sometimes absurd instances that define human routines. With a deep connection to both personal experiences and universal themes, each piece resonates with viewers, inviting them to explore the hidden narratives within everyday scenes.

Through a careful balance of familiarity and surrealism, the artwork of Eva Lynen encourages viewers to pause and reflect, uncovering the underlying emotions and stories embedded in each composition.

This exhibition also highlights the visual essence of Brussels in its different facets, incorporating the city’s unique charm and vibrancy. As part of this artistic journey, The Dominican Hotel plays an integral role, offering a distinctive setting that enhances the overall experience.

Visitors will have the opportunity to see Brussels through Eva’s lens, discovering new perspectives and stories woven into the fabric of the city.

This exhibition serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling, offering an opportunity for audiences to engage with art that is both thought-provoking and deeply relatable. We invite everyone to explore this remarkable collaboration and immerse themselves in the artist’s world of imagination.
