The studio of... Merel Van de Casteele
07 october 2025
The home of Merel Van de Casteele functions both as workshop and a living space. From the attic to the conservatory, the Belgian artist develops sculptures and drawings. Her drawings often begin as words on paper, a practice she calls ‘drawn writing’, moving from left to right as if they tell a story. In her newest drawings, the works carry the names of colors. Once a form emerges, Van de Casteele searches for the color that suits it best, resulting in works that are both graphic and painterly.
