Corné Eksteen (born 1973) is a prominent South African contemporary visual artist known for his “vibrational” paintings that bridge the gap between figurative and abstract art. He is currently based in Ladybrand, Free State, South Africa, and has been exhibiting professionally since 1996.
Eksteen’s work is deeply influenced by Disrupted Realism and the Wave-Particle Duality theory. He uses a complex process of deconstructing reference photos into strips and repainting them as narrow mirror images. This creates sinusoidal waveforms that mimic light, sound, and vibration.
His work has been shown extensively internationally in countries such as Germany, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
