Within South Africa we courier your artwork to your door - the shipping cost will show at the checkout. When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight. We will be in touch regarding the best options for you. Virtual hanging of art is an innovative service we offer that allows art enthusiasts and collectors to visualize how artworks will appear in their desired spaces before making a purchase. We digitally place the selected artworks on your walls, in the correct scale to achieve the desired aesthetic. This service not only helps in making informed decisions but also enhances the overall art-buying experience, providing a realistic preview of the final result and ensuring that the chosen artworks harmonize with the surrounding decor. Please contact us to make use of this service!

On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.

Corné Eksteen
Corné Eksteen
Corné Eksteen, born in 1973, Zastron, Free State, is a contemporary visual artist whose refined technique and evolving style have earned him recognition both in South Africa and internationally. He studied Fine Art at the University of Pretoria and the University of South Africa, and his early work in menswear design, interior decorating, and digital design significantly shaped his layered visual language.
Working as a full-time artist since 1996, Eksteen merges figurative and abstract painting to create portraits that extend beyond physical resemblance. His work explores identity, self-perception, and the fragmented, fluid nature of the 21st-century psyche. Through visual deconstruction, he seeks to uncover deeper psychological and emotional dimensions within his subjects, encouraging viewers to reflect on the shifting constructs of contemporary selfhood.
Each artwork begins with a photographic session, after which Eksteen meticulously deconstructs the images into narrow mirrored strips, forming sinusoidal wave patterns reminiscent of light and vibration. His technique balances transparency and opacity, darkness and light, precision and expressive spontaneity. While often minimal in appearance, his paintings carry a striking emotional intensity.
A defining feature of Eksteen’s career is his continual reinvention, as he introduces new thematic “chapters” that push the boundaries of his portrait practice. His work has been exhibited internationally with The Travelling Art Gallery in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich, Palma de Mallorca, and Kitzbühel, and he is represented in Cape Town by The Artists Gallery.
