Acrylic and oil stick on wood
In Wildenhoge, a small house stands beneath a sky filled with oversized falling drops. Repeated curves contrast with the angular architecture and handwritten words running through the composition. Areas of acrylic paint and oil stick retain different textures, revealing how Emma Veulemans builds her images through line, rhythm and overlapping forms.

Acrylic and oil stick on wood
A house, moon and stars form the recognisable starting points of Thuis Best. Emma Veulemans places these familiar motifs within an unexpected landscape of turquoise, red and pale blue. Handwritten words and woodgrain-like lines introduce contrasting rhythms, balancing the apparent simplicity of illustration with a carefully structured, layered composition.

In Translucent IX, Karen van de Vliet explores the unexpected beauty of a stain: an irregular form that seems accidental yet is carefully composed. Her fascination with such shapes began in childhood, through encounters with ordinary things that appeared both beautiful and slightly off, such as autumn leaves gathered in a puddle.
Translucent materials allow colours and traces from underlying layers to remain visible. Pale blue, black and off-white are interrupted by narrow lines and vivid accents of red, yellow and fluorescent pink. Some elements appear to flow downwards, while thicker areas of paint sit prominently on the surface. The result is a tactile abstract painting that shifts between movement and stillness, precision and chance.

Mixed Media on canvas, framed
Dreams and Hope belongs to a new series in which Vera Klaus develops a more defined visual language. Repeated, arched forms appear across the canvas, suggesting mountains, shelters or fragments of an imagined landscape without forming a fixed narrative.
Drawing and painting remain closely intertwined. Translucent fields of colour create depth, while confident lines and recurring shapes bring structure and rhythm to the composition. Through repetition and variation, Klaus creates a world that feels both playful and carefully constructed.

From the series Coachella views
Coachella Views XIV is one of the most contrasting works in Lisette Schumacher’s series. Warm coral and golden yellow meet cooler blue and lilac, recalling the striking opposition between the sunlit Coachella Valley and the snow-capped San Jacinto Mountains beyond it. Broad areas of colour create movement, while an intricate pattern on the right gives the composition a more concentrated intensity.
Schumacher does not reproduce a particular view. Instead, she brings together impressions of heat, distance, wind and rapidly changing colour. The result is a confident abstract artwork with a strong presence: vivid enough to anchor a space, yet layered enough to reveal quieter transitions on closer inspection.
This work will be shipped within the Netherlands and Belgium at no additional cost, securely and with tracking.

Lisette Schumacher brings coral pink and soft lilac together in Coachella Views XIII. Large, fluid forms are interrupted by a finely patterned area that appears to disperse across the right side of the composition. A pale central opening creates depth, as though a distant light or landscape is briefly visible between the surrounding colours.
The work originates in Schumacher’s observations of the Coachella Valley, where intense sunlight, wind and distance continually alter how the landscape is perceived. Here, that experience becomes an atmospheric composition that feels both open and enveloping. The restrained palette makes the work easy to live with, while its subtle visual shifts continue to reward close attention.

From the series Coachella views
In Coachella Views XII, Lisette Schumacher translates the shifting colours of the California desert into an expansive abstract composition. Pale blue, peach and pink move across the surface in broad, sweeping forms, while warmer golden areas appear between the layers. Finer patterns along the right-hand side introduce contrast and draw the eye further into the work.
The painting was inspired by Schumacher’s journey through Palm Springs, Cathedral City and Desert Hot Springs. Rather than depicting the landscape directly, she captures the experience of colour changing across the Coachella Valley: open, bright and never entirely still. Its generous scale gives the work a strong presence while the nuanced palette keeps the composition balanced.

In Translucent XIII, Karen van de Vliet approaches painting as both image and physical object. Translucent materials extend across the surface like overlapping veils, while thick passages of pale blue, white and deep navy introduce weight and texture.
Vertical lines hold the composition together and form a counterpoint to the irregular contours of the painted layers. Amber tones and small accents of yellow, red and pink remain visible through and alongside the more opaque areas. The work changes subtly with the light, continually shifting the balance between transparency, colour and material presence.

In Translucent VIII, Karen van de Vliet uses pale blue, white and soft pink to create a composition that feels calm yet vibrant. Transparent layers overlap with bold lines and textured passages, allowing colour to appear suspended within the work. The combination of movement and stillness gives the painting a strong architectural presence while maintaining a sense of openness.

Translucent VII by Karen van de Vliet combines subtle pastel colours with darker elements and transparent layers. The composition reveals itself gradually, with areas of pink, cream, black and vivid accents emerging from beneath the surface. The work reflects the artist's ongoing interest in transparency and material, resulting in a painting with both presence and restraint.

In Translucent VI, Karen van de Vliet works with luminous colours and transparent layers that reveal traces of movement and gesture. Areas of soft pink, lavender, yellow and black are brought together within a composition that feels open and spacious. The work occupies a place between painting and object, inviting the viewer to look closely at the relationship between colour, texture and light.

Karen van de Vliet created Translucent IV as a balance between softness and contrast. Transparent layers surround areas of lilac, blue, pink and black, while strong vertical lines introduce rhythm to the composition. The tactile surface gives the work a sculptural quality, allowing colour to appear almost suspended within the material. The painting changes character throughout the day as light interacts with its layered surface.

Wandering Phantoms is part of Donald Schenkel's ongoing exploration of colour and atmosphere. Layers of soft violet, pink and warm yellow dissolve into one another, while subtle vertical forms emerge and disappear within the composition.
Rather than depicting a specific landscape or place, the painting balances between presence and absence. The image remains open, allowing associations with reflections, light or distant horizons without settling into a fixed interpretation.
Built up through numerous translucent layers of oil paint, the surface reveals different nuances throughout the day. The restrained palette and luminous centre give the work a calm yet radiant character.
Presented in a custom wooden frame, Wandering Phantoms brings together colour, light and subtle movement in a composition that rewards prolonged viewing.

No Clear Skies Ahead by Donald Schenkel is built from a concentrated blue field that shifts in density and depth. Vertical traces appear and dissolve within the surface, suggesting movement without fixed direction. The work holds a quiet tension between stillness and disruption, shaped through a controlled yet irreversible process.

From the series Coachella views
The desert landscapes surrounding Palm Springs are known for their clarity of light and wide horizons. During her visits to the Coachella Valley, Lisette Schumacher experienced how dramatically the atmosphere can shift throughout the day.
Bright sunlight, wind and the vast openness of the desert create a landscape in constant transformation. Colours appear to intensify, fade and re-emerge as the sun moves across the valley.
Schumacher approaches these observations through an intuitive process in which colour and gesture develop gradually across the surface. Soft layers of pink, orange and yellow pigments move across the painting like shifting light fields, occasionally interrupted by reflective passages that recall flashes of sun across the desert terrain.
The composition reflects Lisette Schumacher’s ongoing interest in how landscape, architecture and atmosphere influence the perception of colour. Rather than presenting a fixed view of the desert, the work captures the sensation of light moving through space.

From the series Desert Modernism
Desert Modernism II continues Lisette Schumacher’s exploration of the Coachella Valley, shifting towards a more fluid and atmospheric approach.
Rather than referencing architecture directly, the work unfolds through movement across the surface. Pigment is guided, displaced and allowed to settle, creating soft transitions, layered transparencies and subtle variations in tone.
Warm desert colours - yellow, sand, orange and brown - dissolve into cooler greys and pale pinks. These transitions echo the changing light conditions Schumacher experienced in Palm Springs, where colour is never fixed but continuously shaped by its surroundings.
The painting is built through a direct, physical process without the use of brushes. This results in a surface that remains active: marks soften, edges dissolve and layers become visible depending on light and viewing distance.
Desert Modernism II is less about structure and more about perception. It captures a moment that feels in motion, where colour, surface and light interact over time.
As a large-scale work, it brings a quieter but immersive presence to a space, particularly in interiors where natural light can move across the surface throughout the day.

Licht Omloop is part of Jan Theun van Rees' ongoing series Painted Room. Through a process of constructing, observing and continuously repositioning elements in relation to changing daylight, the artist creates photographs in which colour and space remain in constant flux.
In Licht Omloop, warm orange tones are balanced by areas of aqua blue and subtle touche of purple. The image hovers between abstraction and architecture, suggesting depth and movement without revealing the temporary set from which it emerged. Rather than depicting an existing space, the work presents a carefully constructed situation in which light, perspective and colour come together in a single moment.

Zeldzaam Groen is part of Jan Theun van Rees' ongoing series Painted Room. Working with temporary constructions, shifting daylight and carefully positioned elements, the artist creates photographs in which colour, space and perspective remain in constant flux.
In this work, a soft green surface and subtle spatial cues create an image that moves between abstraction and architecture. The final composition is not predetermined but emerges through observation, adjustment and photography. What appears to be a simple image reveals itself as a carefully balanced construction, resulting in a photograph that invites a slower way of looking.

Pigment ink on bright white Photorag mounted on museum board, framed with spacer and UV70 museum glass
This work is part of the series Painted Room
This photograph is part of the ongoing Painted Room series by Jan Theun van Rees, in which temporary architectural spaces are constructed using painted strips of textile. Through the careful interplay of light, colour, material, and perspective, the artist creates compositions that exist only for a brief moment before being transformed into photographic works.
Natural daylight plays a central role in the process. As the light changes throughout the day, shadows shift across the installation, creating visual relationships that are unique to a specific place and moment in time. The installation is continuously adjusted in response to these changing conditions, while the camera position evolves alongside the work.
Rather than documenting a fixed scene, the photograph captures a temporary spatial construction in constant transition. Light, space, material, and viewpoint influence one another throughout the process, resulting in an image whose final outcome remains uncertain until the photographs are reviewed afterwards.
Van Rees' work explores the relationship between photography, architecture, abstraction, and perception. By transforming simple materials into immersive spatial compositions, he challenges the viewer's understanding of depth, scale, and reality.

Hahnemuhle, framed in black, museumglass
From the series Fragments of Clarity
The word ‘reflecting’ carries dual meanings; it can refer to an actual reflection - seeing an image mirrored in a glossy surface like glass - or it can describe the process of deep, thoughtful contemplation.
The photographic series ‘Fragments of Clarity’ by Sophie de Vos explores this duality, moving between the literal and metaphorical aspects of reflection. In most works, Sophie uses glass as a physical and conceptual layer over her subjects, creating subtle distortions that question how we perceive the world. When we look at something, are we truly seeing it as it is, or through the lens of our own experiences, memories, and emotions?
In the work ‘What Lingers After’, this approach shifts. Instead of glass, Sophie uses a photographic intervention, where movement and time become the material of distortion. Here, perception is not refracted by a physical surface, but shaped by duration and what remains after the moment has passed.

Hahnemuhle, framed in black, museumglass
From the series Fragments of Clarity
The word ‘reflecting’ carries dual meanings; it can refer to an actual reflection - seeing an image mirrored in a glossy surface like glass - or it can describe the process of deep, thoughtful contemplation.
This photographic series by Sophie de Vos intertwines both interpretations, exploring the intersection between the literal and metaphorical aspects of reflection. In this series, Sophie incorporates glass as a physical and conceptual layer over her subjects, manipulating its positioning to create dynamic visual distortions. By alternating and playing with these layers, she raises profound questions about perception: When we look at something, are we truly seeing it as it is, or are we viewing it through the complex prism of our own experiences, biases, and emotions? Sophie challenges the viewer to consider the nature of clarity itself, suggesting that true understanding may be filtered and refracted by the lenses through which we observe the world.
Through this blending of visual and philosophical reflection, the series becomes not just a study of surfaces and subjects, but a deeper inquiry into the limits of perception and understanding.

This work is part of the series Painted Room
In Painted Room, Jan Theun van Rees constructs a temporary, immersive space using layered materials and painted surfaces, brought together through carefully controlled light. Soft textiles in shifting tones of blue, pink and grey create a spatial composition that feels both architectural and atmospheric. The interplay between shadow and colour blurs the line between physical structure and illusion, inviting the viewer to question depth, perspective and material reality.
This work is part of Van Rees’ ongoing exploration of spatial perception in contemporary photography, where constructed environments become the subject. Through subtle variations in light and surface, Painted Room offers a quiet, contemplative image that evolves with prolonged viewing.

In Moonlit Corner, Jan Theun van Rees captures the quiet interplay between colour, light and constructed space. Created within his ongoing Painted Room series, the work depicts a temporary environment built and painted specifically for the photograph, a space that ceases to exist once the image is made.
Here, bands of deep blue and warm orange fabric interact with the cool grey tones of the floor, illuminated by a soft, angled light. The composition evokes both architecture and abstraction, balancing material presence with a sense of illusion.
Van Rees explores how light transforms painted surfaces into something ephemeral. Through this process, he turns photography into a form of painting, where each image becomes a moment of stillness, shaped entirely by colour and perception.

With his art, Jan Theun van Rees focuses on the appearance of space as an image, the perception of that (visualised) space in relation to the space that surrounds us. Through his photographs he tries to visualise the specific qualities of those spaces. “Camera Lucida” is the catch-all term for all his artistic projects that try to visualise a connection between (interior) spaces and the outside world through incoming light. He intervenes in the space, manipulates the incoming light, to emphasise the spatial qualities he experiences. These interventions have become essential to his current practice. He constructs his own spaces, his own versions of a new, not yet existing reality. A certain spatial quality is visualised by constructing a space with the sole purpose to photograph the result.
In his new series Painted Room you can step into a new reality and become mesmerised by the rays of light, colourful surroundings and mystic shadows.

Wintergarden by Dutch artist Jan Theun van Rees continues his exploration of constructed spaces within the Painted Room series. Each work begins as a temporary environment, built, painted, and lit solely to be photographed, then dismantled afterwards.
In this piece, cool tones of blue, grey, and earthy brown merge across painted paper walls, evoking the quiet atmosphere of a winter interior. The folds and shadows suggest architectural depth while remaining entirely painterly.
Through this process, Van Rees turns photography into an act of creation rather than documentation. The result is a meditative image where light, surface, and perception converge, a space that exists only in the moment of being seen.

In Dented Space, Dutch artist Jan Theun van Rees continues his Painted Room series, in which photography, painting, and architecture merge. The space we see does not truly exist, it is a temporary construction, built and painted solely to be photographed, and dismantled immediately afterwards.
This work captures the momentary play of light across hand-painted fabric walls. The folds and textures suggest both depth and fragility, transforming a constructed scene into something that feels organic and timeless.
Van Rees’s practice explores the perception of space and how light defines form. By painting his environments and then photographing them, he turns the act of observation itself into an artistic process, where what remains is not documentation, but transformation.

Hahnemuhle photo rag pearl, framed in black, niagara glass
From the series A Fragile Shift of Sight
This work by Sophie de Vos unfolds as both an image and a window. Against a deep black background, fragile flowers emerge in the foreground, suspended between clarity and obscurity. They are seen not directly, but through textured glass once part of an actual window frame. Its flowing surface recalls falling rain, transforming the act of looking into something layered and elusive.
For Sophie de Vos, art functions as a window onto another world; a threshold to the imaginary. By placing the photograph behind this glass, she invites the viewer to experience the image as something glimpsed rather than fully grasped - a fleeting vision that is both present and just beyond reach. At the same time, the glass evokes a sense of protection, as if the flowers are shielded in their own fragile space, reminding us of the delicate boundary between distance and intimacy, reality and imagination.

In To Catch a Spark of Sunlight, Jan Theun van Rees captures the fleeting moment when light defines space. Built entirely by hand and photographed with precision, the work belongs to his Painted Room series, constructed interiors that exist only for the camera.
This particular composition plays with verticality and contrast, as sunlight appears to slice through the space, catching on surfaces and turning architecture into atmosphere. The title evokes a quiet urgency: the desire to hold onto something ephemeral, to freeze a passing beam of light.
Like much of Van Rees’ work, this image is both real and imagined, rooted in the physicality of construction, but shaped by the artist’s intuition and spatial memory.

In Scrambled Morninglight, Jan Theun van Rees constructs a space where colour, light, and architecture dissolve into pure perception. This large-format work—part of his Painted Room series, is not a depiction of an existing room, but a spatial invention, built solely to explore how light transforms constructed surfaces into image.
The composition is animated by layered tones of red, with flashes of purple, orange, and yellow that appear to scatter like fragments of morning light. The title references both the time of day and the fragmented way in which light and colour are perceived and remembered.
As with all works in the Painted Room series, this space never existed until Van Rees built and photographed it. It is a visual proposition: a way of thinking through architecture, photography, and the physical presence of colour in space.

With Red Room, Jan Theun van Rees continues his exploration of how space is perceived and constructed on the flat picture plane. The work is part of the Painted Room series, in which he intuitively builds and photographs entirely constructed environments.
Red Room exists solely to be photographed, a new, not-yet-existing reality created to express a particular spatial quality. The deep red appears to fill the room like a tangible presence, shaped by light and composition.
As in much of his recent work, Van Rees blurs the line between documentation and invention. Red Room invites the viewer to question what space is, how it comes into being, and the role perception plays in its formation.

This work is part of the series Painted Room
In View 1, Jan Theun van Rees constructs a compact, enigmatic space where colour and form suggest more than they reveal. Dominated by deep red tones and punctuated by a single yellow accent, the composition centres around a closed, door-like shape, evoking a sense of tension, as if access is denied or postponed.
Part of the Painted Room series, this image captures a space that exists solely for the camera. It is not a record of reality, but a visual proposition: a space that teases the eye and mind with the suggestion of passage, yet keeps its interior sealed.
View 1 plays with perception, inviting contemplation of what remains hidden just behind the surface.

In View 2, Jan Theun van Rees continues his exploration of constructed spaces that exist solely to be photographed. Rich red tones dominate the composition, while subtle blue and yellow accents add a sense of spatial tension and visual rhythm.
At the centre, a door-like shape appears slightly ajar, unlike the closed form in View 1. This small shift opens up a new narrative: a hint of access, a glimpse of what might lie beyond.
As with all works in the Painted Room series, View 2 is a visual proposition, suggesting space, movement and meaning through colour, light, and geometry alone.

The word ‘reflecting’ carries dual meanings; it can refer to an actual reflection — seeing an image mirrored in a glossy surface like glass — or it can describe the process of deep, thoughtful contemplation.
This photographic series by Sophie de Vos intertwines both interpretations, exploring the intersection between the literal and metaphorical aspects of reflection. In this series, Sophie incorporates glass as a physical and conceptual layer over her subjects, manipulating its positioning to create dynamic visual distortions. By alternating and playing with these layers, she raises profound questions about perception: When we look at something, are we truly seeing it as it is, or are we viewing it through the complex prism of our own experiences, biases, and emotions? Sophie challenges the viewer to consider the nature of clarity itself, suggesting that true understanding may be filtered and refracted by the lenses through which we observe the world.
Through this blending of visual and philosophical reflection, the series becomes not just a study of surfaces and subjects, but a deeper inquiry into the limits of perception and understanding.

Hahnemuhle, framed in black, museumglass
For this work, Sophie de Vos was inspired by the found of her late grandmother's nightgown. Although she never saw her grandmother in this nightgown, she was confronted with a nostalgic sense of familiarity beyond comprehension.
While capturing this intimate image, she noticed an intriguing play of light on the surface of the fabric which shifted her mind to other eras. The abundance of swirling fabrics with beautiful light and shadow areas in paintings from the Renaissance and the fabric draped elegantly over the floor in Roman sculptures. Sophie was fascinated by the ways in which well-known references from our collective visual memory could coincide with the little nostalgic memory her grandmother's nightgown evoked.

Solid hand-cast glass, paint, varnish
From the series Spatial Shade
For this series, Lisette Schumacher approaches the brick as a modular unit to construct space. Referencing modernist architecture, the work builds on the logic of stacking, balancing and repetition to create a compact spatial composition.
In Spatial Shade XIII, this principle becomes more explicitly sculptural. Two volumes are positioned in relation to each other, forming a vertical structure that feels both stable and slightly asymmetrical. The composition reads almost as a distilled architectural form, reduced to its essential elements.
The work is executed in solid hand-cast glass, replacing the traditional stone brick with a material that allows light to pass through and define the structure from within. Layers of cool blue and turquoise tones interact with deeper, more saturated accents, creating a shifting visual depth that changes with the viewer’s position.
The surface carries traces of its making: subtle flow lines, variations in density and small inclusions that emphasise the physical process of casting. These details activate the interior of the work, giving the sculpture a sense of movement within an otherwise precise form.
Rather than describing space, the work constructs it, using colour, mass and transparency as its primary tools.

Solid hand-cast glass, paint, varnish
From the series Spatial Shade
For this series, Lisette Schumacher uses the form of the brick as a fundamental building element. Referencing modernist architects such as Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto and Le Corbusier, the brick is approached not as a static unit, but as a modular structure through which space can be constructed.
In Spatial Shade XV, this architectural logic is translated into solid hand-cast glass. Rather than traditional stone, Schumacher works with glass bricks in varying tones and densities, allowing the material itself to define the work. The sculpture is built around a central void, creating a contained space that shifts through light and perspective. The coloured glass functions as both structure and surface. Its translucent quality introduces depth that is not physically measurable, but optically experienced. Layers of amber, yellow and warm orange tones intensify towards the centre, while edges remain more diffuse, allowing light to enter and disperse through the form. Subtle traces of the casting process - air bubbles, flow lines and internal variations - remain visible, reinforcing the material presence of the work. These elements are not imperfections, but essential to how the sculpture holds light.Balancing between architectural clarity and optical complexity, Spatial Shade XV operates as a compact spatial construction, where mass, colour and transparency continuously interact.

Solid hand-cast glass, paint, varnish
From the series Spatial Shade
In the Spatial Shade series, Lisette Schumacher creates glass sculptures from solid handcast coloured glass. Each work is carefully composed from individual glass elements, resulting in balanced forms that reveal subtle differences in colour and transparency.
Light plays an essential role in these sculptures. As light moves through the glass, reflections and colour variations appear within the material. The sculpture changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed, revealing different layers and tones.
The compact scale of the work allows for close viewing, where the depth of the glass and the transitions between colours become visible. The weight and clarity of the material give the sculpture a strong physical presence.
Schumacher’s sculptures highlight the qualities of glass as a material, where colour, light and form come together in a single object.

Solid hand-cast glass, paint, varnish
From the series Spatial Shade
For this series, Lisette Schumacher uses the form of the brick as a building block. Inspired by architects such as Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto and Le Corbusier, she approaches the brick not as a conventional construction material, but as a modular element through which space, balance and rhythm can be composed.
In Spatial Shade V, this idea takes on a more open and vertical form. Three stacked volumes create a slender sculptural composition that feels both stable and precarious, almost like a distilled architectural study. The work balances mass and lightness, geometry and movement.
Rather than working with stone, Schumacher uses solid cast glass bricks in different proportions. This choice transforms the brick from a practical module into a luminous surface. In this work, vibrant blue and turquoise tones move through the glass in layered, fluid patterns, creating a strong sense of internal motion. The colour does not sit on the surface, but appears to unfold within the material itself.
As light enters the sculpture, the work reveals varying densities, lines and optical shifts. Subtle traces of the casting process remain visible, reinforcing the physical nature of the object. At the same time, the flowing colour fields soften the strict geometry of the stacked form.
Spatial Shade V brings together key elements of Schumacher’s practice: modern architecture, modular composition, illusionary depth and the spatial potential of glass. Compact in footprint yet visually expansive, the sculpture changes throughout the day and rewards slow looking.

Polished bronze, black marble
Edition 1/4 + 1 AP
The Arising by Jeske Haak explores transformation as a force of both fragility and power. Cast in bronze, the sculpture embodies the moment of emergence, when something delicate breaks through its surface to take form.
Haak draws on natural cycles and mythological imagery to evoke renewal and endurance. The reflective surface gives the work an almost sacred stillness, while the sculpted forms suggest motion and life within the metal itself.
Through this piece, Haak continues her investigation into the origins of creation, how form arises from matter, and how the smallest elements of nature can carry monumental presence. The Arising stands as a quiet yet commanding meditation on rebirth and material permanence.

Unique
Freerk Wilbers has been developing a new body of work that explores movement, perception, and light, and Low Moon continues this investigation. The sculpture is part of his ongoing Moon Series, a collection of freestanding glass works that translate optical phenomena into tangible form.
Low Moon is built from two transparent discs printed with fine geometric grids. When viewed from different angles, the patterns overlap to create the moiré effect, a visual interference that produces the illusion of motion. The sculpture itself remains perfectly still, yet the image of the moon seems to shift and breathe as the viewer moves around it.
With Low Moon, Wilbers reveals how stillness and movement can coexist within a single object. The work embodies the precision and quiet wonder that define his practice, offering a refined, collectable artwork that merges material craftsmanship with optical poetry.

Unique
Freerk Wilbers has been quietly developing a new body of work, and it begins with Full Moon. This artwork marks an important step in his practice. The piece is more intimate and collectable in scale, while still preserving the sense of movement, illusion, and wonder that defines Wilbers’ artistic approach.
Full Moon was created from a studio investigation into the moiré effect, the visual phenomenon that occurs when two similar, but not identical, patterns overlap. This effect produces dynamic, ever-changing images in the space between the grids.
The moon itself isn’t physically present; it appears only in the eyes of the viewer. The printed patterns on either side of the glass remain completely still, yet as the observer moves, a shifting optical illusion comes to life. With Full Moon, Freerk Wilbers demonstrates how perception, movement, and material can intersect, creating a contemporary artwork that resonates both conceptually and visually.

Complementary to her practice as an artist, Quinda Verheul is also an athlete partaking in several competitions each year. Usually, these are solo ultra-distance mountain bike competitions that depend on self sufficiency. Being in the midst of the landscape, experiencing the mountains, the different weather conditions, and the site at night enhances her fascination for the landscape which is inextricably reflected in her practice.
Quinda created a new series that she has named after her favourite mountain pass in Kyrgyzstan; Kegeti - a 4000 metres pass with steep and inhospitable conditions. What inspired this new series was the image of black rocks at the top of the mountain. Lingering in thin air, the black stood out against the blue sky. Being alone for days and finding the motivation to continue created a lot of room for reflection. It was in this moment that she truly became one with her environment.

From the series Spatial Reflections
Lisette Schumacher created a new series of sculptural works in which she applied new materials and techniques. The front and the back of the work differ, leading to surprising outcomes.
In ways the spacial reflection series builds on her trailing reflection series.
Endless reflections of sun on glass and water were the starting points to create Lisette’s Trailing Reflections series. During her residency in Los Angeles (April – May 2022) she visited The Stahl House, located in the Hollywood Hills. It was designed by Buck Stahl and Pierre Koenig in 1959-60. She was stunned by the pure beauty and tranquillity of the Stahl House. During her stay, Lisette noticed an intriguing play of reflections in the glass facades of the home, caused by the water of the swimming pool and the reflections of the sun. She wanted to create a body of work that would visualise her observations and bring an ode to the family home, built from glass and steel. The Stahl House has become the figurehead of modern architecture in Los Angeles. She picked the colour palette based on the local rocks, succulents, interior and the swimming pool.

Serpentine Opal, rose coloured mirror
Quinda Verheul is inspired by big scientific topics like the hydrological cycle, the erosion of the earth and natural forces like wind, water and sunlight. But also by the practice of mining, where people dig for treasure and ruin and influence entire landscapes. By using mirrors, Quinda shows both the human perspective as well as the experience of emptiness and reflection. With this, she creates strange landscapes that offer some kind of recognition, but which can also be part of an entirely different world. Her work is usually site specific and temporary, an aspect which also questions the value of temporary work and the extent to which physical presence of said piece is still necessary.
