Art Brussels: Booth 5B-11

Richard Saltoun Gallery presents a group exhibition focused on artists connected to Belgium: Suzanne VAN DAMME (1901–1986), Véronique FILOZOF (1904 - 1977), Fernand KHNOPFF (1858–1921), Jacqueline PONCELET (b. 1947), Everlyn NICODEMUS (b. 1954), and Ria VERHAEGHE (b. 1950).

Highlights include paintings by Tanzanian-born artist Everlyn Nicodemus, whose major retrospective will travel from the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh to WIELS, Brussels this October. 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. 

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). Her current solo exhibition is on view at Richard Saltoun Gallery London.

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

Additional works will be on view by Myriam BAT YOSEF, Stanley BROUWN, Romany EVELEIGH, Mimi Benoit PARENT and Francia PICABIA.
