In After the Storm – Orange, sweeping leather forms overlap in a composition filled with warmth and movement. Deep reds, burnt orange and softer earthy tones evoke leaves caught in the final currents of a storm, moments before stillness returns.

Madelon Uljee is fascinated by natural structures and transformations that are often temporary or easily overlooked. She translates these observations into sculptural wall works that occupy the space between fragility and strength, movement and stillness.

The work is created from high-quality surplus leather from the haute couture and luxury fashion industry. Materials originally intended for luxury bags, footwear and other objects are cut and shaped by hand, becoming one-of-a-kind sculptural forms. Subtle variations in colour and texture remain visible, revealing the character of the leather.

The accompanying leaves expand the movement beyond the central sculpture, creating a composition that can be adapted to a particular wall or interior. Installation within the Netherlands is included.

After the Storm – Orange/Red brings together warm shades of orange, rust and burgundy in a compact sculptural composition. Overlapping leather forms create a sense of movement, accompanied by individual leaves that appear to drift beyond the central work.

The artwork is part of Madelon Uljee’s exploration of the natural world and its continual cycle of change. Rather than depicting a storm itself, Uljee focuses on what remains afterwards: displaced leaves, lingering movement and the first signs of recovery.

Each element is shaped by hand from high-quality surplus leather originating from the haute couture and luxury fashion industry. The material retains its softness and tactility, while the folds and layered construction give the work a distinct physical presence.

Its more compact format makes the work particularly versatile. The accompanying leaves allow the composition to extend across the wall or respond to an architectural feature without requiring a monumental space. Installation within the Netherlands is included.

In After the Storm – Red, Madelon Uljee captures the moment when the force of a storm begins to subside. Layered forms in deep red, burgundy and aubergine gather at the centre, while individual leaves appear to have been carried across the wall by the wind.

Uljee works with high-quality surplus leather from the haute couture and luxury fashion industry. By cutting, shaping and assembling the material by hand, she gives it a new life as a sculptural artwork. The curved surfaces create depth and shifting shadows, allowing the work to change subtly with the light and the position of the viewer.

The work reflects both the vulnerability and resilience of nature: a moment of disruption that already holds the promise of renewal. With its generous scale and rich colour palette, it creates a strong yet organic presence within an interior.

Madelon Uljee creates sculptural works in leather, exploring the relationship between material, form and repetition. In this work, folded elements build up into a dense, almost architectural surface. The deep burgundy colour enhances the sense of depth and shadow, while the handmade structure keeps the piece tactile and organic. Depending on the angle and light, the work shifts between softness and sharpness, appearing both controlled and instinctive at the same time.

Madelon Uljee creates sculptural works in leather, where material, tension and form come together in a precise, physical composition. This work reads almost like a stretched skin: shaped by hand, with a surface that shifts between smooth and structured, catching light in a restrained way. Subtle steel elements punctuate the form, adding rhythm and weight. At 120 x 100 cm, it holds a strong presence without overwhelming the space — a work that asks for a considered placement and rewards close attention.

Madelon Uljee creates sculptural works in leather, exploring the relationship between material, form and natural structures. Soft pink tones and subtle variations in texture give this work a more intimate, tactile quality. The organic form suggests a natural structure without directly referencing it, allowing the piece to remain open and intuitive. Its scale and colour make it approachable, while the material keeps it grounded and distinct.

In Leaf Bubbles, Madelon Uljee works with lambskin as a sculptural surface, shaping it into a relief that references organic structures without directly imitating them. The central vein suggests a leaf-like form, while the raised elements create a rhythmic pattern across the surface, introducing tension between control and spontaneity.

The material remains visibly responsive: stretched, pressed and formed by hand, allowing subtle irregularities to emerge. These shifts in surface and structure give the work a tactile quality that changes with light and viewing angle.

Uljee’s work is rooted in the relationship between material and form. In this piece, leather functions not as a covering, but as a spatial medium, bridging sculpture and wall-based installation, with a strong affinity to architectural environments.

Green Spinner explores how systems behave once they are set in motion. In this work, Freerk Wilbers brings together four segmented circles, each mounted on a rotating axis and connected through a carefully calibrated mechanical structure. Although linked, the elements never move in the same way; each responds according to its own rhythm within the system.

The work is activated through touch. A small impulse is enough to initiate a sequence of movements that slowly unfolds beyond direct control. Structure and unpredictability exist side by side, showing how slight variations can produce noticeably different outcomes over time.

Green Spinner calls for a considered form of interaction. Its tactility is subtle, its mechanics visible yet restrained. In a private setting, the work reveals itself gradually. Not as a spectacle, but as an object that remains responsive to each new encounter

Red Spinner marks a pivotal moment in Freerk Wilbers’ practice. For the first time, the work depends on the viewer’s physical involvement to exist fully. Four segmented circles are mounted on rotating axes and connected through a system of springs, allowing each element to respond independently within a shared structure.

A single movement sets the work in motion. From that moment on, control gradually gives way to variation: different starting points generate different sequences, never repeating in exactly the same way. The result is a quiet choreography of movement, shaped by rhythm, tension and release.

The work invites a restrained form of interaction. It is engineered with precision, yet sensitive by nature, asking for attention rather than force. In a private setting, Red Spinner unfolds as an intimate encounter with motion, time and system behaviour.

Quinda Verheul immerses herself in the constantly changing landscapes and the influence that humans have on them. She is fascinated by natural forces like wind, water and sunlight, and often addresses grand topics like the exploitation of natural resources which alter the landscape. Yet, there are different aspects to the same topic which Quinda explores in different series. This is reflected in her use of raw, earthy materials such as sand and natural stone. Mirrors form a returning metaphorical element in her sculptures and installations which invite spectators to reflect on themselves while simultaneously exploring different perspectives. The results are unique aesthetic translations which are able to present new confrontational information within a certain comfort.
