NEXUS MODERN ART

Marc and Gille Schattner    

Husband and wife team Marc and Gillie Schattner are international award winning artists and Archibald Prize Finalists.

They have painted together for the last 15 years Gillie, born in London in 1965 and Marc born in Melbourne in 1961 have exhibited their art all over the world. Most of their artwork appears as diptychs. They work collaboratively on the same art piece combining their talent to arrive at a single vision. Every aspect of the art piece has both their minds and hands on it, reflecting their individual passions and influences
in life.
