Kasper Eistrup has always sought to connect the seemingly impossible. By counterposing order and chaos, his work utilizes different methods and materials, but also separate and distinct visual expressions, ranging from meticulous depictions of the outer world, it’s machines and architecture, to a deeply aesthetic expression of emotions. This approach could have resulted in an ambivalence within the work but rather establishes as a wide ranging and distinct artistic language of its own.

The title of the Eistrup’s monumental work Confluence (2024) refers to the junction of two rivers. This flowing together is present in both the artist’s paintings and drawings which he counterposes with photomontage. In an almost kaleidoscopic pattern, a myriad of details has been intuitively arranged and seamlessly combined.
