Eva Steynen Gallery is pleased to present Rivers in the Sky, a group exhibition bringing together four artists — three of whom are showing at the gallery for the first time, alongside gallery artist Robert Soroko.
Inspired by the writings — and the book There Are Rivers in the Sky — by Turkish-British author Elif Shafak, the exhibition explores the invisible threads that connect us not only to one another, but also to the elements of nature: earth, air, water, and fire.
Just as water flows through time — ancient, ever-present — these unseen rivers above and below us weave connections between people, beings, and their surroundings. They remind us that nothing exists in isolation.
Through diverse materials and approaches, Greet Van Autgaerden, Tamara Dees, Robert Soroko, and Helena Van Driessche each reveal how deeply we are intertwined with the world around us. Their works echo the rhythms, flows, and fragile interconnections of life — from landscapes and seas to organic forms and imagined ecosystems.
Rivers in the Sky invites visitors to sense the unseen movements that unite all living things — a quiet reminder of our shared, fluid existence.

Opening: Sunday 9 November, 3–7 pm
