## Description

Corné Eksteen is a renowned contemporary artist based in South Africa. Known for his large-scale confrontational portraits, Eksteen merges the traditions of figurative and abstract painting to create artwork that delves into the inner life and state of mind of his sitters. His unique artistic process involves cutting up printed reference photos into vertical strips, leaving only segments of the original image intact. These strips are then painted in as a mirror image, resulting in visually striking and thought-provoking compositions. Eksteen's work often explores themes of identity, deconstruction, and transient nature in the 21st century. In addition to portraits, his body of work also includes figure studies and still lifes. With a long history of exhibitions and accolades, Eksteen's art can be found in private collections around the world. Currently residing in Ladybrand, Free State, South Africa, Eksteen continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression.
