'Still Here' brings together works by eleven gallery artists in a winter exhibition that highlights continuity, endurance, and the ongoing reality of artistic practice. Rather than focusing on a single theme or medium, the exhibition offers a momentary cross-section of the gallery’s program — an opportunity to encounter diverse practices side by side and to reflect on what it means to sustain work over time.
The works span generations, materials, and approaches. Some were produced especially for this exhibition, while others have been developed recently or shown in different contexts, such as international art fairs, and are here reintroduced in the slower, more attentive space of the gallery. Together, the works do not tell a linear story; instead, they emphasize repetition, revisiting, and persistence — qualities that often define artistic practice more accurately than moments of interruption.
In 'Still Here', the gallery functions as a space of continuity: a place where works remain present beyond individual moments or events, and where relationships between artists, works, art lovers, and collectors can develop and deepen over time. The exhibition mirrors the rhythm of the gallery program itself — marked by dialogue, repetition, and change, where development arises within continuity. In this way, the gallery becomes a place to discover, reflect, and connect, where artistic practices have room to unfold over time.
The works are installed without hierarchy or thematic grouping, inviting careful movement through the space. Differences in scale, material, and tone coexist without being resolved, allowing unexpected connections and contrasts to emerge. Together, they form not a single narrative, but a shared moment and a commitment to the ongoing making and showing of work.
As the opening exhibition of the year at Eva Steynen Gallery, Still Here embraces restraint: it is not a statement, but a collective moment that acknowledges what is already present — here and now — while looking ahead, leaving space for what may yet unfold.
