EKS.REI draws on multiple media to interrogate the undercurrents and patterns that inform his view of the world.

Working primarily with sumi ink, charcoal and porcelain, his style is informed by a fusion of calligraphy, tattooing and graffiti; playing with motifs in these practices to find vivid expression for his interest in philosophy, psychology, and East Asian mythology.

The interplay of light and dark, east and west, negative and positive space take on greater thematic weight as he attempts to balance dualities he sees within nature, self, and psyche throughout his work.
