Kiki van Eijk: Memories of a Garden
From March 18-25, 2026, Spazio Nobile presents Memories of a Garden, a colourful and captivating series of new work by Kiki van Eijk that captures the designer’s vivid imagination and the impact that nature and the landscape has on her practice.
Spazio Nobile presents a pop-up exhibition of Kiki van Eijk’s latest tapestries: Memories of A Garden. This new collection of Jacquard weavings, collages and watercolours was born from an artist-in-residency she had at the mobile garden studio of her longtime friend — and one of the Netherlands’ most celebrated painters : Marc Mulders. Situated on Baest Estate, a protected natural area, Marc’s extraordinary wildflower gardens became both muse and laboratory. Immersed in this living landscape, renewed each spring with wildflowers, Marc finds inspiration for his quiet activist art. It was here that he invited Kiki to share the studio, a glass-fronted space that moves between different garden “rooms” and opens directly to the changing world outside. Kiki embraced the invitation, staying on the estate to experience it from morning dew to evening glow. Secluded yet deeply connected to nature, she worked in calm concentration, drawing on the shifting rhythms of flora and fauna.
With her wide archive of fabrics, Kiki experimented in a contemporary impressionistic way: cutting, pasting, weaving, and layering what she saw, felt, and almost feared losing. Her sketches are like magnified medieval miniatures, they reveal the hidden structures of nature. The large-scale weavings were produced at the TexteilLab in Tilburg, where Kiki has an ongoing collaboration.
Kiki van Eijk: Memories of a Garden opens on March 18th and will be on view through March 25th, 2026.

Spazio Nobile is pleased to present The Lunisolar House by Taiwanese artist Pao Hui Kao in the Horizons section of Art Brussels. In this mesmerising piece, Pao Hui Kao invites us to reimagine the home as a delicate threshold, a shelter shaped by light, breath, silence and vulnerability, rather than a fortress. Using humble yet transcendent materials such as folded tracing paper and rice glue, the artist has created a space that is both architectural and meditative: a sanctuary without walls; a chapel without doctrine; a horizon where fragility is transformed into a new form of strength and beauty.
