WE ALL BEND REALITY.
|
The abstract artwork of Catherine Vanhullebusch is an exploration of the beauty of our subtle manipulations, the ways we shape our worlds to suit our truth. Perfection may be alluring, but it's in the imperfections—and the excuses we make for them—that we find our humanity.
Each piece embraces the dualities and contradictions that define us. You’ll find forms that are pure and simple, yet unexpectedly twisted, folded, or bent—echoing the moments when emotions override logic, when chaos sneaks into order. These shapes aren’t just altered; they’re celebrated for their deviations, much like the way we celebrate our own flaws. After all, it’s the silly, sometimes lousy excuses we craft that make us more human, adding a touch of humor and charm to our imperfections. |
SELECTION OF WORK

|
MUTED COLORS.
|
Catherine works on raw canvas, allowing the natural texture and subtle flecks of the material to remain visible. There’s a tactile honesty in this approach—an unpolished, earthy feel that grounds each piece. The colors she chooses reflect this rawness, with a palette of muted, natural tones like terracotta, denim blue, and deep green. These shades are applied with variation in opacity, creating layers where some areas are bold and opaque, while others remain light and transparent. The contrast between these elements adds depth, inviting you to not only see the textures but to feel the natural imperfections that make each piece uniquely its own.
