WE ALL BEND REALITY.
|
The abstract art 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

|
|
|
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.

WHERE TO SEE
|
My studio is based in Brussels, Belgium, and my artworks are sold through Pareit Gallery. On their website you’ll find an updated overview of available works, including sizes and prices. Pareit.Gallery has two locations along the seafront in Knokke (Zeedijk 644 and 741), where a selection of my paintings is always on view. If you’d like to see a specific work you’ve discovered online, the team will gladly bring it out for you—just let them know in advance, or simply ask when you visit.

By joining my VIP list, you’ll receive updates whenever new works are released—often even before they reach the gallery. Since each piece is first picked up from my studio to be framed, you'll get an early look at what’s coming next. I also share news about upcoming exhibitions and other studio updates.
