Oil on paper, on Dibond
Donald’s work is an exploration in the behaviour of colour. He uses the gradients between colours as a tool to uncover the characteristics of the oil paint such as translucency and viscosity, and the way some colours blend easily while others resist. Due to our evolutionary sense of perception, darker colours feel like they recede into the faraway distance, while lighter colours feel as if they move towards us; by skilfully manipulating these behaviours, Donald’s paintings express their own unique depths and spaces

Oil paint on linen, on wood
Cerulean Light is a small, gentle painting that invites a moment of calm. Donald Schenkel builds his gradients slowly, allowing the colours to settle into a quiet transition from pale blue to an almost weightless tone. It’s a piece that changes subtly with the light, offering something slightly different throughout the day.
Its modest size makes it an accessible introduction to Schenkel’s practice, an artwork that fits easily into any interior, whether placed on its own or as part of a small constellation. It’s also a thoughtful choice for anyone looking for a meaningful, long-lasting gift: minimal, serene, and made with care.
