Galerie Greta Meert is pleased to present its fifth solo exhibition by Belgian artist Catharina van Eetvelde. Known for her subtle, attentive approach to drawing, van Eetvelde treats the act itself as a way of being—attuned to presence, gesture, and change. Her works, often shifting between figuration and abstraction, are shaped by a quiet surrender to form and material, bringing together stains, figures, and objects as cohabitants in a shared, resonant space.
This exhibition gathers a new body of work—an ensemble of drawings, paintings, and visual propositions—each offering an invitation to look slowly, to listen closely. Rather than delivering conclusions, van Eetvelde’s works remain open: intimate and elusive, rooted and floating, unfolding in the space between earth and sky.
Over the past 30 years, Galerie Greta Meert established itself as one of Brussels’ leading contemporary art galleries. Founded in 1988 as Galerie Meert Rihoux, it was subsequently renamed after its founding director Greta Meert in 2006. Located in the center of Brussels, the gallery occupies a five-story Art Nouveau building designed by Louis Bral and renovated for the gallery by renowned Belgian architects Hilde Daem and Paul Robbrecht. Since 2012 three floors of the building are dedicated to exhibitions, making it possible to maintain an expanded exhibition schedule.
