Alain Hens

Curating art. Inviting presence.

Alain Hens Gallery moves along two thoughtful lines. The first is sculptural, poetic design: functional objects that blur the boundary between imagination and use.
The second is post-war abstract art, representing artists born between 1920 and 1935, many of whom have been featured in major museum exhibitions across Belgium and abroad.
As generations shift, some of these voices risk fading. Alain brings them back into view, not as relics, but as perspectives still worth taking in.

His eye is drawn to tactility and presence.To art and objects that resonate. His work invites us to pause, notice, and reconnect with what’s essential.
These are values we also hold close at Rumi. A profound Rumi friend. Not just for the art he curates, but for the platform he creates:
a space to rediscover, reflect, and imagine new (or old) horizons.

Alain curates artworks for our Rumi stays, adding a soulful, tactile layer to our spaces.
His selection invites presence and pause, helping each moment settle into something lasting.
Together, we explore how art can soften time and turn a space into an experience.
