Art The Hague 2026: Pierre Célice, Casper Waaijer, Jo Andersson, Marleen Kaptein & Rosa Shepherd
At Art The Hague 2026, The Millen House presents a group of artists whose practices move between painting, sculpture, material experimentation and spatial construction.
At the centre of the presentation is a dialogue between Pierre Célice and Casper Waaijer. Across different generations, both artists build highly individual visual languages through rhythm, repetition, colour and structure. Célice works with signs, lines and recurring motifs that move between painting, writing and symbol, while Waaijer translates architectural structures into tactile compositions made from materials such as woven straps and textile.
Their works are joined by Jo Andersson, Marleen Kaptein and Rosa Shepherd, each extending the presentation into a different material and spatial register. Andersson works with glass and light, creating objects that shift with movement and viewpoint. Kaptein explores the relationship between sculpture, perception and space, while Shepherd’s work brings an intuitive, physical approach to form and material.
Together, the works reflect The Millen House’s ongoing interest in the intersections between art, design and architecture, and in artists who construct their own distinct systems of form.

For Art The Hague 2026, The Millen House presents a group of artists whose practices meet around form, rhythm, material and spatial perception.
At the centre of the presentation is a dialogue between French artist Pierre Célice and Dutch artist Casper Waaijer. Working across different generations and materials, both artists construct highly personal visual languages through repetition, structure and colour.
Célice’s paintings are built from recurring signs, lines and pictorial motifs. His compositions move between abstraction, writing, ornament and architecture, forming a vocabulary that is immediately recognisable yet remains open to interpretation. Presented in collaboration with the Maurice Verbaet Center, Antwerp, the selection at Art The Hague introduces works spanning several decades of his practice.
Waaijer approaches composition through material construction. Influenced by brutalist architecture and the structures of the built environment, he works with materials including woven straps and textiles to create works in which colour, tension and repetition become architectural elements in their own right.
The presentation is extended by works from Jo Andersson, Marleen Kaptein and Rosa Shepherd.
Swedish-American artist Jo Andersson works with glass and light, exploring the shifting relationship between object, viewer and surroundings. Her works change through reflection, transparency and movement, introducing an atmospheric dimension to the booth.
Marleen Kaptein’s sculptural practice investigates perception, balance and the way objects occupy space. Her work sits between sculpture and architecture, often altering as the viewer moves around it.
Rosa Shepherd brings a more intuitive and physical approach to form and material. Her work explores how objects can hold both familiarity and ambiguity, creating a dialogue between material presence and the space around them.
Together, the presentation reflects The Millen House’s wider programme: bringing historical and contemporary positions into dialogue and exploring the intersections between art, design and architecture.
