“Last Shimmer” belongs to Donald Schenkel’s new Real World Renders series, created for Root Gallery’s 2025 programme.
Through this body of work, Schenkel continues his exploration of how light, colour, and material interact to shape perception. Painted in a single wet-in-wet layer, each work demands complete control and acceptance of unpredictability, gradients merge, pigments shift, and no correction is possible.
On paper, the delicacy of oil paint becomes even more pronounced. Subtle transitions unfold across the surface, suggesting a digital glow that remains grounded in pure material presence.
Framed in walnut, Last Shimmer evokes both warmth and contemplation, the final glimmer of daylight, suspended between certainty and change.

Delivery within the Netherlands and Belgium is arranged in consultation, either in person or securely shipped.
