Before diving into abstraction, Merel Jansen spent years exploring figuration. This painting is part of her earlier body of work, intimate portraits where the body, the fabric, and the space are treated with the same attention and complexity.

Merel was trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) in Ghent and quickly developed a unique voice, blending classical techniques with contemporary composition. Her early work already revealed a fascination for fragmentation, layering, and ambiguity themes that she continues to explore in her recent abstract paintings.

Her solo exhibition at Nodenaysteen brings together these two energies: figuration and abstraction, body and color, presence and erasure.

Join us in discovering the full scope of her practice.

With this first glimpse into Merel Jansen’s solo exhibition at , we invite you into a world where color is emotion, matter, memory.

Merel’s abstract paintings speak with silence and sensation. A painter of textures, fragments, and intensities, she continues a long tradition of women artists for whom abstraction is neither escape nor decor but affirmation.

Her work is the result of years of exploration of color, of layering, of inner landscapes.

Exhibition opens Friday December 28th in Ghent. Stay tuned.e.r.e.l.j.a.n.s.e.n ❤️

🖤 Don’t miss this.
Some exhibitions come with noise.
Others come with a vibration.
This one does both.

Lee Ranaldo, legendary co-founder of Sonic Youth, is not just a musician.
He’s a visual poet of movement, rhythm, memory.
In (again) across the river, he draws, scratches, engraves and reassembles images like he plays guitar:
with urgency, with intuition, with grace and distortion.

His drawings are road diaries.
Made in tour buses. In motion. In thought.
His vinyl drypoints echo the ghost of sound, of touch, of what remains.
Each piece feels like a frequency of something lived — and still vibrating.

It’s not just an exhibition.
It’s a score of a life in art.
A voice drawn with lines. A memory captured in rhythm.
And a fierce reminder that art, like music, should move us. Literally.

Opening October 11
Galerie Nodenaysteen, Ghent
With an original soundtrack created for the show

A meeting of minds in New York.
Curator Hilde Van Canneyt has long followed Lee Ranaldo’s journey — across music, print, performance, and image.
This exhibition is the result of that long-standing fascination.

From underground sound to the white walls of the gallery:
(again) across the river opens October 11.
Let the conversation unfold.

A conversation beyond words.

In Vestiges, Chantal Pollier and Guillaume Van Moerkercke explore the subtle gestures of memory — through stone, through shadow, through silence.

Their practices meet in the invisible.
In what’s left behind.
In the space between keeping and letting go.

This exhibition is not about nostalgia — it’s about presence.
The presence of traces, of forms, of echoes.


📍 Ghent, Belgium
🗓️ On view until October 20

What does it mean to draw from memory?
For Guillaume Van Moerkercke, the act of painting is a slow archaeology.
His layered black drawings are quiet yet dense — shaped by absence, filtered through remembrance.

Each piece emerges like a fossil — not an image, but a trace.
A shadow of something once held, once felt.

His work is an ongoing dialogue with silence, time, and the ghosts of transmission.
Among them, the legacy of his grandfather, an archaeologist, whose tools of excavation now echo in his own.

How do we choose what we keep?
Chantal Pollier’s installation Curiosity Killed the Cat opens a cabinet of echoes.
Fragments, memories, anatomy, loss — she collects and arranges, with the precision of a surgeon and the tenderness of a mourner.

Here, every object resists disappearance.
Every relic becomes a question.
Why do we hold onto things, and what stories do they whisper back to us?

This is not a museum.
This is a memorial of emotions.
A space of quiet persistence.
