The work of Samuel Sarmiento functions as both a historical record and an exercise in contemporary imagination and fiction. Drawing from traditions of mediated observation — much like ancient travel logs that circulated images of exotic animals, sometimes exaggerated and sometimes entirely imagined — Sarmiento revisits the fragile space between myth and reality.

The Refuge of the First Humans

When the Earth was newly born, there was only a vast, infinite ocean. It was nearly impossible for human beings to survive, as they had to swim or float without rest to keep from sinking.

Witnessing this suffering, the caimans and turtles volunteered to help: the first groups of people lived upon their shells and scales. Over time, the human population grew so large that the stars decided to intervene to relieve the animals of their burden. Thus, the stars created the first islands using grains of sand, finally providing a solid refuge for the tribes of humanity.

This mythical narrative resonates through the two works currently on view: Woman Traveling on an Alligator and Giant Turtle Over the World (2025). Both mixed media works on paper become vessels for migration, protection, mythology, and memory.

Like the famous depictions of distant creatures by Dürer or Baldung, Samuel Sarmiento presents his own collection of birds, turtles, caimans, and imagined worlds. Macaws and troupials arrive reinterpreted through his brushstroke, becoming time capsules that connect ancestral storytelling with contemporary fiction.

What a time to be alive…

In "They’ve Got Disaster On Their Mind", Anne Silverstrand Forest invites us into a world that feels increasingly familiar and unsettling at the same time.

Her work reflects on a world where the lines between power and powerlessness, good and evil, are drawn with startling clarity. It is a landscape where long-held secrets drift upward, erupting at the surface, and where the peak of the tipping point comes into sharper focus every day.

What a time to be alive...

This work embodies much of what makes the exhibition so compelling: vulnerable yet confrontational, intimate yet impossible to ignore.

Her solo exhibition is on view for just under three more weeks at NQ Gallery.

For those who haven’t seen it yet — make sure to visit.

Visitors walking through the public pathway crossing the grounds of Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp can now encounter David by Caspar Berger — a work that invites reflection on heroism, scale, vulnerability, and courage.

The story of David and Goliath is universally known: the underdog facing an opponent far greater and more powerful. According to Berger, this is precisely why so many artists throughout history have chosen to depict David — because everyone wants to be David.

For Berger, the ultimate David remains Michelangelo’s monumental marble figure. After acquiring a plaster fragment reproduction of Michelangelo’s original head in Milan, Berger decided to confront this legacy himself. He covered David’s face with silicone casts of his own face, creating what initially appears to be a scarred or pitted surface, but reveals itself as a collage of countless life-sized versions of the artist himself.

The intervention creates a striking shift in perception: through scale alone, Michelangelo’s David transforms from heroic youth into giant.

Special thanks to the team at Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp for their enthusiasm, engagement, and commitment in making this possible.

Take your time. David is waiting.

Anne Silverstrand Forest has been part of the gallery from the very beginning. As the gallery has grown, so has her practice. Her work continues to evolve in a way that is both uncompromising and deeply personal. She remains an artist who challenges herself. That is where Anne’s strength lies, and we are proud that she plays an important role in shaping the identity of the gallery.
