Traces by Ria Lins and Beniti Cornelis

Artist list

Beniti Cornelis, Ria Lins

Pont & Plas is celebrating its 20th anniversary and is joyfully breaking loose. With its new exhibition 'REACH OUT... AND TOUCH ME...' of which the title alludes to the tones of Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus', the jewellery gallery in Ghent presents, on top of its permanent collection, the new work of no less than 20 (jewellery) artists. Like a priestess, gallery owner Aline Vandeplas accommodates the remarkable rarities in her little temple on the corner of 'de Graslei' during one whole year. Rarities that, as the title of the exhibition suggests, in this post-corona era long to be touched again.

Pont & Plas would like to admire this myriad of refined creativity together with you. You are therefore most heartily invited to the first opening with work by Ria Lins en Beniti Cornelis which will take place on Sunday, December 5 2021, from 11 a.m to 5 p.m.
So, do pop in and snoop around. Enjoy the party and be adorned.

Leave traces on each other, on the environment and in time. This is also a year-long celebration of '20 years of Galerie Pont & Plas'. The 45 years I (Ria Lins) lived with Beniti Cornelis left indelible and inescapable traces. Talking, traveling, listening, watching, being silent, laughing, mourning, discussing, ... Our works remain an imprint of confluence and connection.
