    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.
    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.

    We will be in touch regarding the best options for you.

    Description

    Description of a Diasec

    A Diasec consists of 3 layers; an aluminium dibond board as the support material, the image on photographic paper (or an inkjet print), and a layer of acrylic glass.

    The image gets onto the photographic paper via laser light and the paper gets developed as conventional photographic paper in previous

    The paper used for the Diasec we sell is Fuji Chrystal Archival Paper, which has a specific glow and enhances the colours. Once finished, the image gets pasted on the aluminium dibond board and in a cleanroom covered with acrylic glass.

    Fuji gives a 75-year guarantee on colourfastness of the image and the acrylic glass filters around 90% of UV light.

    There are only very few companies worldwide who are able to produce Diasec in high quality. Because of this, we have all our Diasec made in Germany.

    Cornè Theron

    Cornè Theron

    Cornè Theron (born 1974, Worcester, South Africa) is a South African–born, France-based contemporary artist whose practice explores the emotional, perceptual, and subconscious spaces where unseen connections quietly surface. Working across painting, photography, glass, video, and digital media, Theron investigates how fragmented elements – memories, pixels, reflections – coalesce into meaning.

    Originally trained in law, completing an LLB at the University of the Orange Free State in 1997, Theron soon after transitioned fully into the visual arts. Early recognition included being a finalist in the Crouse Gallery Fresh Talent competition and shortlisted for the SA Taxi Art Awards, followed by group exhibitions and her first solo exhibition in Johannesburg. Since 2018 international exhibitions, group exhibitions, successful art fairs and five solo-exhibitions followed, and manifested the artist’s career as internationally recognized.

    In 2019, Theron relocated to France on a French Government-awarded talent visa to further her artistic career. Around this time, Theron developed her distinctive use of glass as a filtering device – first discovered in a farmhouse near Cape Town and later expanded through vintage French glass found during the renovation of her home in France. This process introduces pixelation, abstraction, and optical depth, blurring the boundaries between reality and perception. The pixel functions both visually and conceptually: a symbol of individuality within a larger collective, echoing neo-impressionist strategies where discrete elements form a unified whole.

    Water recurs as a central metaphor in the artist’s work, representing the fluid, layered nature of the subconscious and the invisible forces shaping human behaviour. Through this lens, Theron’s practice asks not only what we see, but how meaning emerges through movement, reflection, and connection.

    Her international career includes sold-out solo exhibitions such as AMA (Frankfurt, 2020), AQUA (Kassel, 2023), and a 2024 solo exhibition in Munich curated by Dr. Sonja Lechner. Her recent solo exhibition in Cape Town, ‘Nymphéas: Les Femmes Émergentes – In Conversation with Monet’, was featured by Artsy on its Most Loved list alongside major international artists, and received positive critical media coverage from Cape Times, Die Burger, and Your Luxury Africa, as well as a radio interview on Fine Music Radio.

    Theron will host a multisite exhibition, titled ‘Reflets’, in May 2026 in Sarrebourg, France, in collaboration with the Sarrebourg Museum. Her work was selected for a solo presentation at the Chapelle des Cordeliers, where it will be exhibited in dialogue with Marc Chagall’s ‘La Paix’ as part of the 50-year anniversary celebration of the work.

    Work by the artist is held in private collections internationally, the public collection of The War Museum, Bloemfontein, and is supported by notable collectors, including former Artsy CEO Mike Steib. Theron currently lives and works in France.

    Cornè Theron is represented by The Artists Gallery in Cape Town.
