( 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 ) !

    We begin 2026 with a solo exhibition by Geran Knol, titled Turen uit de luwte (which may be translated as Gazing from the Lee).

    We are particularly pleased to present this exhibition, as it marks Geran Knol’s first solo show in Belgium.

    Geran Knol is a multidisciplinary artist from the Netherlands, currently living and working in Antwerp. His practice spans drawing, painting, sound and sculptural work.

    Geran Knol’s work constitutes an ongoing investigation into shape and form. Within his imagery, a recurring figure merges with its surroundings and resists personification. He often works in series, setting himself specific rules or constraints. These self-imposed limitations serve as a framework for exploring variation, from which new ideas emerge. While his practice is largely two-dimensional, the haptic qualities of the materials play a crucial role in the formation of the final image.

  • ( 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.
