Knokke-Heist
Galerie Van Campen & Rochtus falls in love with Knokke-Heist… “The seaside town is undoubtedly a synonym for beauty, in the area of art as well as gastronomy” Text: Isabel Boons | Photos: Jan Agten
A life-size brass sculpture by the hand of Natasja Bennink stands at Zeedijk 697A in Knokke-Heist looking rather fabulous. The first indication that there are plans for these premises. Galerie Van Campen & Rochtus, at this moment still located in the Dumortierlaan, will soon be moving to a new location with a sea view. We met the owners, Minneke Van Campen and her husband Erwin Buys, in their new exhibition space which soon will undergo a thorough renovation. Afterwards we go and have lunch with this dynamic duo at Tomatous, their neighbours in the Dumortierlaan. The honest and pure cuisine of chef Tom Vermeire blends in effortlessly with Minneke and Erwin’s vision….
