GLOW & FLOW / KNOKKE

There are exhibitions you visit.

And there are spaces that shift something… before you understand why.

Glow & Flow belongs to the latter.

No loud statements.

No over-explained concepts trying to justify themselves.

Just color.

Rhythm.

Form.

And something that lingers without asking permission.

The collaboration between Katleen Lievens and Sarah Matthys doesn’t feel like a collision of styles more like a conversation without language.

Geometry that refuses to stay rigid.

Color that slips outside its boundaries.

A quiet tension between control and release.

As if everything is moving… but not trying to arrive anywhere.

At first glance, the work feels accessible almost playful.

But stay with it, and something else surfaces.

Not emptiness.

Something charged.

This isn’t art that demands interpretation.

But if you keep looking… it starts happening anyway.

And maybe that’s the point.

Location: Zeedijk 685, Knokke

When: May 1 — May 31

No heavy invitation needed.

You’ll know if you’re meant to go.

Katleen Lievens

My practice emerges from a life shaped by movement, displacement, and reinvention.

Living across countries and cultures has deeply influenced the way I perceive space not only as a physical construct, but as an inner territory to be claimed, protected, and expanded.

Through sculpture, painting, and printmaking, I explore form as a language of self-expression and self-reclamation.

Geometric structures, soft curves, and layered compositions become vessels for emotions that are often held quietly: tension and release, fragility and strength, absence and presence.

My sculptures are not representations; they are embodied experiences.

Each piece is an invitation to slow down, to feel balance and imbalance, weight and lightness mirroring the internal negotiations we make as we grow into ourselves.

What was once compressed is allowed to unfold.

What was once silent is given volume.

At the core of my work lies a gentle but radical intention: to encourage taking up space.

To honor one’s inner voice.

To bloom even, and especially, in unfamiliar ground.

My work stands at the intersection of architecture and introspection, structure and softness, offering spaces where viewers may recognize something of their own becoming.
