Living with Art: Galerist Veerle Wenes at Home in Antwerp - Remodelista
Photography courtesy of Verne. Living with art takes on a whole new meaning for Veerle Wenes, owner of Valerie Traan, the art gallery she created in her own home. The original herringbone brick floor. A whitewashed live edge tabletop surrounded by mismatched chairs, one of them a Jens Fagor Raw Chair for Muuto. The dining room stands between the kitchen, living room, and a gallery space. A Maarten Van Severen leather lounge chair in the living room. A Flexform Sofa and articulating wall lights by Muller Van Severen. A series of white painted shutters on windows and doors filter the light. The kitchen is separated from the gallery by a large curtain. A set of polyethylene Muller Van Severen Cutting Boards with Brass Hook for Valerie Objects hangs on the wall behind a stainless topped counter. A Muller Van Severen Marble Box (2011) mounted on the wall. A concrete floor, light wood cabinets, and stainless steel counter tops create a serene feel in the kitchen. On the upper floor is a piece from an installation by Muller Van Severen. A stone enclosure for the partially open shower in the bathroom. The bathroom features walls of white painted cabinets. A trio of vintage mirrors serve as the main mirror in the bathroom. The bedroom with a darker palette than the rest of the bright white gallery-home space. Veerle Wenes in her gallery. The gallery space leads onto a pebbled courtyard with a concrete island. A cement bench is built into the concrete platform island in the courtyard. The simple, but striking courtyard space.
