Art Brussels: Booth 5B-11

At Art Brussels 2025, Richard Saltoun Gallery presents a group exhibition featuring five influential artists connected to Belgium: Suzanne VAN DAMME (1901–1986), Fernand KHNOPFF (1858–1921), Jacqueline PONCELET (b. 1947), Everlyn NICODEMUS (b. 1954), and Ria VERHAEGHE (b. 1950).

Everlyn Nicodemus, a leading feminist voice from East Africa, is represented by works produced during her years in Belgium (1990–2008), addressing trauma through mixed media incorporating metal netting and found objects. Highlights include pieces from her Wedding, Silent Strength and Oeuf Colombe series. Following her major retrospective at the National Galleries of Scotland, her work will tour to WIELS, Brussels, in 2025.

Ria Verhaeghe, based in Bruges, presents gold-leaf paintings and works on paper spanning the 1990s to today. Her poetic, fragmented imagery has been shown at the Biennale of Sydney (2012), Biennale of Moscow (2013), and recently at Be-Part, Waregem and the Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent (2023).

Jacqueline Poncelet’s ceramics challenge the divide between craft and fine art, blending industrial techniques with urban patterns. A key figure in the New British Sculpture movement, her work is held in Tate Modern and the V&A, with a recent solo show at MIMA, UK (2024).

Adding a historical dimension are works on paper by Belgian Symbolist Fernand Khnopff and Surrealist paintings by Suzanne Van Damme.
