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 natural world and its elements.

Just as water flows through time — ancient and 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. From landscapes and seas to organic forms and imagined ecosystems, their works echo the rhythms, flows, and fragile interconnections of life. Rivers in the sky invites visitors to sense the unseen movements that unite all living things — a quiet reminder of our shared, fluid existence: never fixed, always becoming.

Together, these perspectives converge to create a contemplative space within the gallery — one that mirrors the fluidity and unpredictability of nature itself. Rivers in the sky invites viewers to move slowly, to drift between works and absorb their quiet dialogues of matter, memory, and transformation. In doing so, the exhibition becomes not just a presentation of art, but an experience of connection — between artist and viewer, body and environment, earth and sky.
