About Demain
Renowned for showcasing emerging artists, DEMAIN Art brings a collection that seamlessly integrates with Aqualex’s ethos of sophistication and modernity. Each piece embodies a profound exploration of form, materiality, and the ever-present essence of water, seamlessly woven into the artistic narrative. As the sound of the sea murmurs in the background, visitors are invited to discover exceptional artworks and experience the innovative Aqualex drinking water taps—all within an atmosphere of refined elegance and inspiration.
DEMAIN supports the Belgian local art scene by collaborating with emerging artists. We personally assist our clients in discovering quality art at accessible prices. Their aim: highlight the dynamic local art scene and at the same time offer a place of discovery for up-and-coming artists.
DEMAIN is active in the pre-gallery period, a crucial moment in an artist's career. We select and present talented artists who are living and working in Belgium. Through our expertise and network, we pick artists who may well define the art scene of tomorrow. We are proud to have launched the careers of 15 artists who are now represented by galleries in Belgium and internationally.

COME & COLLECT: Randoald Sabbe's: WIJ WATER
This artwork represents water as the source of all existence, an eternally circulating element that reminds us of the universal interconnectedness of all people. It transcends geographical, cultural, and social boundaries and symbolizes how every form of life is intertwined in an ancient chain of shared history and shared future. Water that once belonged to early civilizations, rains, and oceans, today circulates within us and between us, as a lasting witness to our shared origin and interdependence.
In a simple linguistic shift from 'wijwater' to 'wij water,' Randoald Sabbe creates a new meaning: a collective identity that goes beyond religion or God. Here, introspection is not a path upwards, but towards one another. The work calls for a communal mindset, moving away from individualism, and suggests that meaning is found in connection.
Through the ritual of filling bottles at the source, the audience plays an active role in spreading meaning. Randoald Sabbe once again plays with symbols and semantics, inviting us to reconsider the fluidity of identity and history. His work asserts that meaning is never fixed: it reveals, conceals, and shifts with each interpretation.
