In The Exchange, Donald Schenkel plays with dualities, movement and stillness, opacity and light, control and release. Layers of blue and orange unfold across the canvas, shaped with the custom tools Donald has refined over the years. The surface appears in constant transformation, as if in dialogue with the viewer’s gaze.

This painting builds on Donald’s recent approach: intuitive yet precise, bold in gesture but deeply considered. The layered oil paint creates a sense of rhythm and resonance, inviting you to reflect, to pause, and to look again. Each viewing reveals something new.
