|
| | | | Belgian-born, Los Angeles-based sculptural artist Katrien Van der Schueren will present a selection of her sculptural works at Salon Art + Design 2026, November 4 -5, as part of Club Venus, an immersive café installation conceived by Maison Mischief, the creative destination founded by Katie and Ruben Gutierrez. Drawing inspiration from the transformative effects of water and time, Club Venus reimagines the fair's café as an atmospheric environment where art, collectible design, and material exploration converge. Inspired by weathered surfaces, patina, and the fluidity of underwater landscapes, the installation features monumental fabric works by artist Gaya Arushanian alongside a curated selection of furnishings and lighting. |

| | | | Contributing to the installation, Katrien will showcase one Curio Cabinet, two Embrace sconces and five Glow sconces, bringing her distinctive sculptural language to the space. Rooted in an exploration of materiality, texture, and form, her work blurs the boundaries between functional design and artistic expression, complementing the installation's layered, sensory approach. |

| |
|
| | | | The Curio Cabinet blurs the line between functional furniture and sculptural art, combining carved wood, plaster, pigments, and richly textured finishes through an experimental approach to materiality and craftsmanship. |
| | |
| |
|
| | | | The Embrace sconces, finished in cold-applied liquid metal, explore the interplay between strength and softness, with fluid, organic forms that shape and diffuse light |
| | |
| |
|
| | | | Complementing these works, the Glow sconces are individually shaped by hand from a blend of plaster and resin, with delicate layers of liquid metal that reveal subtle variations in texture and tone as light moves across their surfaces. Together, the pieces blur the boundaries between sculpture, functional design, and illumination, contributing to the richly layered and atmospheric environment of Club Venus. Presented alongside contributions from STARK, AGUIRRE, Lindsey Adelman Studio, and Iatesta Studio, Katrien's participation reflects a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, artistic experimentation, and the dialogue between art and interiors. |

| | | | About Katrien Van Der Schueren Katrien Van Der Schueren is a self-taught Belgian-born sculptural artist based in Los Angeles whose work explores memory, materiality, and human connection through immersive, tactile experiences. Approaching sculpture as a spatial intervention, Katrien creates multi-material, layered works that invite discovery, participation, and a renewed sense of wonder. Rooted in the universal language of touch and feel, her practice seeks to connect viewers to their shared humanity through forms that are at once ancient and contemporary. Material exploration lies at the heart of Katrien's process. Working directly with wood, stone, clay, plaster, resin, metal, hemp, and other unconventional materials, she builds and carves surfaces through layering, transformation, and subtraction, often combining multiple crafts within a single work. Treating materials as collaborators rather than tools, she embraces experimentation and allows each medium to contribute its own character, history, and expression. Sought after for her ability to transform architectural and spatial environments, Katrien's works transcend the boundaries of sculpture, design, and installation, creating immersive narratives that encourage curiosity, connection, and participation. |
