(1929-2017, French)

Serge Mendjinsky is a renowned French painter born in 1929, whose creative legacy is deeply rooted in his artistic heritage. He was introduced to the world of art from a young age, being the son of Maurice Mendjisky, a prominent painter associated with the ‘Ecole de Paris.’ Growing up in such an environment, Serge developed a profound appreciation for artistic expression and innovation.

He pursued his formal education at the esteemed Fine Arts school in Paris, where he refined his technical skills and developed his distinctive artistic voice. Mendjinsky’s exceptional talent soon garnered critical acclaim, leading to exhibitions across Europe, Japan, and the United States. His works attracted admiration from art critics and collectors alike, establishing his reputation on the international stage.

His method consists of using photographs for his preliminary studies. He breaks down and recomposes the landscapes of the world’s largest cities. As such, the artist creates new urban landscapes while questioning our perception of his interpretive morphology.

His work is included in the collections of private collectors and public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.
