Eva Steynen Gallery

Eva Steynen Gallery presents The Quiet Between Things, a group exhibition featuring ceramic sculptures by Veroniek Van Samang (°1988), floral paintings by Chris Meulemans (°1967), and abstract paintings by Ann Grillet (°1961). Working across generations and media, the three artists share a sensitivity to material, form, and the spaces in which meaning takes shape subtly — without imposing itself — leaving room for imagination and for the viewer’s lived experience. The Quiet Between Things points to an attentive mode of looking that runs throughout the exhibition. With a focus on matter, surface, gesture, and in-between space, the works invite a slowed encounter — an un-meeting, a quiet suspension of habitual recognition. The exhibition directs attention not only to pictorial space, but also to the indeterminate, hushed space around and between the works: between presence and absence, image and abstraction, touch, proximity and distance. Veroniek Van Samang’s ceramic sculptures unfold as three-dimensional paintings, in which form, colour, and fragility emerge through a careful and tactile process. Chris Meulemans’ floral paintings hover between recognition and abstraction; motifs dissolve into rhythm, repetition, and chromatic cadence. Ann Grillet’s abstract paintings build meaning through subtle layers of colour, where transparency and density interact and structure gradually reveals itself to the attentive viewer. From within their distinct practices, the three artists approach restraint as a generative force — a way of giving form room to breathe and of keeping meaning open. The Quiet Between Things proposes an exhibition that does not immediately disclose itself, but instead creates space for slow, attentive looking and embodied perception. The works unfold gradually, foregrounding a shared commitment to nuance, concentration, and material intelligence — inviting visitors to dwell in the in-between spaces where presence quietly takes shape.

The Quiet Between Things brings together ceramic sculptures by Veroniek Van Samang (°1988), floral paintings by Chris Meulemans (°1967), and abstract paintings by Ann Grillet (°1961). Across different media and generations, the three artists share an attention to what unfolds in moments of pause and restraint — where form, material, and perception meet without insistence.
