9 Dynamic Art Installations Foster Interest and Engagement

Project: Stable Road Capital, Venice, California

The details: Stable Road Capital founder and chairman Ed Freedman reached out to Katrien Van der Schueren of Voila! Creative Studio to create an art installation in the early months of the pandemic for the investment company’s Venice, California office, which was designed by Los Angeles-based Martyn Lawrence Bullard. “I wanted to bring something bold and happy to the interior,” she says of designing the piece for the reception area. The sculpted panels nod to natural forms and puzzles—that ubiquitous lockdown activity—thanks to their interlocking shapes. Because soft natural light filters in throughout the day, Van der Schueren chose to work with Venetian plaster so the shifting light would complement the piece’s textured layers. “The color combo has always been one of my favorites to play with,” she explains, “but in this space, the scale and proportions allow them to pop.”
