Style
On the canvas the artist composes spatial patterns, which are covered with specific movements in paint and texture. On top of that he releases a pure and raw emotion. The artwork of Schenk is therefore layered; spiritual as well as poetic. It awakes emotion, on the one hand because of the colour and strength of the work and on the other hand because of the white tones and modest appearance. Because of the various themes that can be found in the artwork of Schenk, it appeals to the viewer through a sense of recognition.
Natural materials
Schenk travels a lot and all his journeys are a great source of inspiration. He also masters the techniques which contribute to the work of art. For example, he mastered the art to make paper when he was visiting Japan. The artist likes to use natural materials such as rice, jute, palm leaves and cactus wood. As a result, the viewer is challenged to touch the work and experience the creation physically. Schenk is always interested in new materials with which he can expand his imagery. He is a born artist and in his work the viewer can still find the organic lines and shapes of figures. In the world of Schenk there is no difference between figurative and abstract, his creations consist of expression and energy. He involves the viewer in his artwork and offers an opportunity to step into his world!
