( s o o n ) is an independent private gallery space
showcasing up-and-coming talent, from within and outside our Belgian borders.
Situated in a duplex apartment on the 13th floor of the Riverside Tower, a brutalist gem by renowned architects Léon Stynen and Paul De Meyer overlooking the river, the rich cultural city of Antwerp and the harbour.

Locating the gallery in a residential home provides a unique setting for artists to show
their work and allows the audience to spend more time than usual in the gallery,
fully absorbing the creative atmosphere.

The artistic vision of the gallery is not fixed and will evolve over time and with experience gained. We will look into the possibility of residencies in the future.
The duplex is the last original duplex in the tower.
making it a proper architectural time capsule.

Looking froward to welcome you here in Antwerp ( s o o n ) !

    ( s o o n ) gallery

    We start 2025 with a solo show titled ‘Des fleurs, des voitures, d’autres trucs parfois’ by Jonas Desmed, a unique artist from our capital Brussels. His works is based on automatic drawing, a technique used by the Surrealists, as well as artists like Picasso, Miró or Ellsworth Kelly.
    Jonas draws the same objects time and again, yet each artwork is different. His brute and naive style transform objects that are overlooked in daily life into intriguing images, however always without premeditation.

    Most welcome to discover Jonas’s enormous amount of drawings, all the same yet all very different!

  • ( s o o n ) duplex | architectural time capsule

    Welcome to ( s o o n ) duplex!
    This spacious 2-bedroom flat is the last original duplex in the magnificent brutalist gem, Riverside Tower (1972), designed by renowned Belgian architects Leon Stynen and Paul De Meyer.

    In 2022 the building celebrated its 50th birthday and this milestone was marked by the publication of a book by architectural historian and architect Marc Dubois: ‘Riverside Tower Antwerpen, Iconische woontoren | Modern erfgoed’. Unfortunately the book is sold out in most bookstores.

    Besides being an architectural treasure and a fantastic home to live in, the duplex offers breathtaking views over the city of Antwerp and the harbour.
