JUUL VAN DEN HEUVEL:
Horses, Trees, and David Bowie / The Studio
Sculpture, paintings, and works on paper

16 May – 20 June 2026
OPENING Saturday 16 May 4-7pm
In the presence of the artist 

The Suzanne Biederberg Gallery is delighted to invite you to our latest exhibition of Juul van den Heuvel’s most recent work—collaborating over 35 years!

Across more than three decades, van den Heuvel has developed a distinctive body of work that is both personal and universal. Her art invites the viewer to slow down, to look closely and to find beauty in what is both fragile and hidden, humorous and deep.

Her tools and influences:
- the iron blade – to cut the sharp edges into the cloth
- charcoal – to add, layer by layer
- cloth – touch, sculpt
- yellow – to leave one’s comfort zone
- cats – play
- time – presence
- teacher – David Bowie

According to van den Heuvel: Fragments of memories play an important role in our lives—in my practice, in the studio. They recur throughout the work, appearing as a mood, as a narrative, as an image. The studio IS the work, a space where thinking and making are inseparable.

In the studio, the hand touches material—the wool, to knit pieces of time. Wool, cloth and charcoal become tools for passing time. Knitting, layering and shaping it into form. Textiles, soft structures that hold traces of the past. Drawing, on paper, through the slow layering of charcoal, to reveal intensive labour and repetition.

Making becomes an act of survival. The thinking and the doing take place simultaneously. There are horses for their strength and vulnerability, fairy tales adjacent to reality, monsters and angels.

The studio: do not judge, but let it be guesswork. Let the work grow and change. All is permitted, all is allowed.
