From the series Echoing Reflections
Discover Echoing Reflections, the latest sculptural series by artist Lisette Schumacher. This innovative collection pushes the boundaries of contemporary art, showcasing her mastery of new materials and experimental painting techniques. Each wall sculpture features two distinct images - one on each side - crafted with contrasting colours. When illuminated from above, these sculptures cast dynamic, mesmerising light patterns on surrounding walls, creating a striking visual experience. Perfect for modern interiors, these pieces expand on her acclaimed Spatial Reflection series.
Inspired by endless reflections of sunlight on glass and water, Lisette created Trailing Reflections during her 2022 residency in Los Angeles. While visiting the iconic Stahl House, a mid-century modern masterpiece designed by Buck Stahl and Pierre Koenig, she was captivated by its serene beauty and architectural brilliance. The interplay of sunlight and pool water reflected in the home's glass facades became the core inspiration for this series.
Lisette’s carefully curated colour palette - drawn from the local rocks, succulents, interiors, and the pool - infuses each sculpture with the essence of Los Angeles. Her work pays homage to the Stahl House, a celebrated symbol of modern architecture.

From the series Celestial Mountains
Inspired by her journey to Kyrgyzstan, and her experience of the enigmatic landscapes, Quinda Verheul unveils a poetic odyssey through Kok-Ayryk; named after the 3883 metres mountain pass in the Tian Shan mountains. Memories of day and night are combined in pink and blue mirrors, with the concrete lines becoming silhouettes of the mountainous terrain, forming a ballet of reflections that can only be experienced when viewing the work in real life. Concrete edges embody the struggle against the mountain's stoic surface, a testament to the complexities of nature, and the challenging journey in the thin air.
Kok-Ayryk embodies her journey through the mountains; a crisp road tracing a wild river, where clouds converge and drizzle adorns reflections. Landslides and the endless stream of rocks that cover the path form fascinating landscapes, with red and pink stones taking centre stage. As the series unfolds, clouds part, revealing a cerulean sky. The mirrors turn into a mountainous backdrop, capturing the red mountains and glaciers. As the sun sets, the sky darkens, captured in the deep blue of night.
