A Solo Exhibition by Marie-Louise Koen

 

With Summer Nostalgia, Artist and Interior Designer Marie-Louise Koen unveils her largest and most expressive body of work to date.

A radiant ode to colour, warmth, and memory - alive with both the immediacy of summer light and the tenderness of nostalgia.

Diverging from her signature seascapes, MLK invites us into an endless summer, capturing its many moods through lush gardens, vivid florals, glistening pool scenes, and the sunlit beaches of Cape Town. Each canvas hums with energy — layers of pigment and feeling intertwined — a celebration of joy, longing, and the slow, golden rhythm of the season.

“It’s my favourite of seasons — and when I’m not in it, I’m dreaming of it. This is what it looks like.”

From poolside swims to flower-filled gardens, sun-drenched coastal views, and countless beach days, Summer Nostalgia becomes a visual diary of cherished moments — a radiant, deeply personal expression of what the artist calls her “season of the soul.”
