Plexus: an interwoven combination of parts or elements in a structure or system I often go in search of a single word or phrase that best describes my intent as an artist at a given point in time and build on that the principle concept for a series of works. Recently I've been looking at a lot of my older work and from this retrospection the need has arisen to combine all the elements and visual vocabulary that I've been experimenting with, over the last few years into a more definitive personal "style." The idea so to use all the weird little things that have popped-up during the Disintegration series through to the Anomaly series. There are many elements and technical approaches that has come and gone in my work over the last 5 years, essentially things that happened by accident, that I would like to retain in my work going forward. This piece is the third in this series of works where I will attempt to amalgamate all the different approaches to image making and painting itself that I've explored over the last few years. The series will eventually culminate in a large solo show NEXUS scheduled for March 2019 at State of the ART in Cape Town.

Eksteen (b. 1973, South Africa) is a figurative painter, renowned for his large scale confrontational portraits. His work relies on both figurative and abstract painting traditions in the creation of pieces that not only represent the physical appearance of his sitters, but also reflects on and explores their inner life and state of mind. Eksteen refers to the creation of these portraits as a quest for new archetypes. Works are created through a process that include several sessions with a sitter, followed by digital manipulation of reference materials before the actual painting is started. Paintings are created using several often experimental techniques and relies on finding a balance between the transparent and opaque, dark and light, the controlled and the expressive. The completed images are seemingly simplistic, but confronts on many levels with it’s raw emotional complexity.
