"Painting is a never-ending journey where there is always a challenge, a learning experience, and inspiration to Images. I like to use a palette knife and oil paints in my paintings. My paintings are inspired by the colors and texture seen in my travels." - Alena Shymchonak

"Beijing-based artist Zhiyong Jing creates miniature paintings that make a big impression. Working predominantly on small canvases, he conjures up evocative, cinematic scenes that he describes as 'dreams, bodies and absurd realities.' Each painting invites narrative interpretation—a man plummets through the air without a parachute; a hitchhiker hails a passing car in an otherwise empty mountainscape; a tiny figure watches as a swing set burns—simultaneously intriguing, beguiling and unsettling the viewer."

Lorenzo Quinn is an Italian sculptor renowned for his powerful and emotive artworks. His art installation titled “Support” features two colossal hands rising from the Grand Canal in Venice, supporting the Ca’ Sagredo Hotel. The installation, unveiled during the 2017 Venice Biennale, serves as a poignant commentary on the impact of climate change and rising sea levels.

André Schulze is both an artist and a painting conservator who gives old, often discarded paintings a new lease on life through his unique blend of restoration and creative alteration. Educated in fine arts at the Dresden University of Fine Arts, Schulze hunts for these vintage canvases in antique shops, thrift stores, or receives them from collectors. Before applying his contemporary artistic touch, complete with subtle humor and meticulous attention to detail, he painstakingly restores these frequently damaged works. Schulze views his work as offering a second life to these forgotten artworks, merging past and present in each piece. In this series he adds a pixelated effect to traditional still life imagery creating a juxtaposition between old and new.

Fritz Scholder, a pivotal figure in 20th-century American art, is best known for his profound and often provocative depictions of Native American life and identity. Part Native American himself, Scholder challenged the romanticized, stereotypical portrayals of Indigenous peoples prevalent in American art, offering instead a raw, unvarnished perspective that blended elements of pop art, expressionism, and surrealism. His work from the late 1960s onwards broke new ground by portraying Native Americans with a complexity and honesty that had rarely been seen before. Scholder’s paintings often featured vibrant colors and dynamic compositions, infusing traditional themes with contemporary relevance and stirring public dialogue about Native American history and representation. Through his influential teaching and prolific output, Scholder played a crucial role in inspiring a generation of Native American artists and reshaping American art’s landscape. His legacy is celebrated for its daring challenge to the status quo and its lasting impact on the perception and portrayal of Indigenous cultures in art.

Philippe Charles Jacquet, a former architect turned painter, intricately combines reality and imagination in his landscape compositions, heavily influenced by the Brittany coasts and estuaries. Despite his architectural background, evident in his symmetrical and geometric landscapes, Jacquet infuses his works with rich colors and diverse surfaces, ranging from glass-like water to weathered hulls of barges, creating a surreal and idealized quality. His unique painting technique, utilizing gloss paint on plywood, allows for remarkably smooth surfaces, with textures achieved through transparent layers or razor blade manipulation. Particularly meticulous in rendering houses within his landscapes, Jacquet constructs them separately before integrating them into the backdrop, underscoring a human presence within his expansive, dream-like settings. Currently based in Pantin, near Paris, Jacquet has exhibited widely in France and earned recognition, including winning first prize at the Plastic Arts Exhibition at Melun. M Galerie is proud to introduce Philippe Charles Jacquet’s work to the American market.
