About the artwork

90 x 120cm - SGD 7500.00 120 x 120cm - SGD 10500.00 120 x 150cm - SGD 12500.00 Gillie and Marc are Australian contemporary artists, and husband and wife, who collaborate to create art as one. They reference their own love story in their works, perpetuating a pursuit of happiness and encouraging us to challenge status quo and perceived safety of societal convention. In this new body of work, Gillie and Marc transform a seemingly ordinary family portrait into a canvas of textures, expressions and colours – fully capturing the 21st family dynamics within a contemporary context. Inspired by the notion of ‘family’ and its diversified structures, they seek to recreate the meaning behind family portraits.



About the artist

Husband and wife, Marc and Gillie Schattner are Australian contemporary artists who collaborate to create art as one, applying the iconic imagery of the dog or human hybrid to celebrate the powerful spiritual relationship that exists between man and animal. Gillie and Marc reference their own remarkable love story in their works, perpetuating a pursuit of happiness and encouraging us to challenge the status quo and perceived safety of societal convention. Gillie and Marc's unparalleled love is the cornerstone of what they are and what they create. Meeting in Hong Kong, she was a nurse from England and he, a boy from the suburbs of Melbourne. Wanting only to find a soul-mate with whom to share their passions for art, travel and adventure, they were married at the foothills of Mount Everest seven years later. With a 20 year history of collaboration, Gillie and Marc's works (paintings and sculptures) have received worldwide acclaim and are held in collections both nationally and internationally.
