Image: Ellen Dhondt, Envelope, 2026, acrylic, marker, coloured pencil & spray paint on paper, 54 x 63 cm

(°2000, Belgium) lives and works in Ghent. In 2023, she obtained her Master’s degree in Fine Arts at KASK – School of Arts in Ghent. Through a spontaneous and seemingly innocent visual language, Dhondt creates a pictorial world that allows her to foreground the often trivialized experiences of women. Inspired by the cut-out paper dolls of the 1920s, she developed an alter ego: Ellie Dolly. This character appears in various situations and environments through which Dhondt explores complex female identity, universal themes, and taboos.

She has participated in several (group) exhibitions at BARBÉ (Ghent, 2025), Michèle Schoonjans Gallery (Brussels, 2025), Kunsthal Gent (Buy Local, 2025), Pizza Gallery (Antwerp, 2024), Maison des Arts (Brussels, 2024), Giftshop (Ghent, 2024), and Het Bos (Antwerp, 2023). She was awarded second prize at Art Contest 2024. In 2025, she completed the M-Residency at Cas-co, followed by a solo presentation from October 2025 until February 2026 at M Leuven, BE.

A fingerprint is generally used to register a person’s identity, reducing the individual to a single print. By repeatedly imprinting it onto paper, the identity slowly fades and the ego gradually disappears. Typical of Kris Martin’s oeuvre, the work reflects on impermanence, disappearance and the dissolution of the self through an extremely minimal gesture.

CLOSING DAY: Charlie De Voet’s ‘LET SEEK HIDE & PAINT’ closes today at our space at Penitentenstraat 29, 9000 Ghent. Join us for drinks and conversations in the presence of .de.voet

Charlie De Voet (b.1977, lives and works in Ronse , BE) researches the interplay between painting and sculpture, where he experiments with texture, shape and colour. He focuses on paint as matter, exploring the effects of excessive layering. His monochrome paintings, with subtle transitions from dark to light and painted wet in wet painted with oil paint, emerge from an intensive process that De Voet describes as ‘almost meditative’

‘LET SEEK HIDE & PAINT’ is Charlie De Voet’s second solo exhibition with BARBÉ. The gallery has presented his works in numerous exhibitions both in and outside the gallery. He has also participated in exhibitions at venues including Spazio Display (Parma, IT), Art Rotterdam (NL), CAN Art Ibiza (ES), Ballroom Project (Antwerp, BE), Plus-One Projects (Antwerp, BE), Hilvaria Studios Foundation (NL), Dewael Gallery (Antwerp, BE), the MERode Collection (Ronse, BE), Fred&Ferry (Antwerp, BE) Badaff, (Ghent, BE) and Zebrastraat (Ghent, BE), Art Brussels (Brussels, BE) among others. In 2025 he participated in the inaugural exhibition of the ABBY Museum in Kortrijk (BE).
