Gal Schindler
Fractured self
Imagine yourself as a mosaic - each shard a memory, each fragment a story. Identity is fragmented, nonlinear, imperfect. Through collage, artists reassemble past and present into visual diaries, embracing the messiness of memory to reveal a self that is ever-evolving, resilient, and beautifully incomplete.

Gal Schindler’s paintings pulse with movement and emotion—figures twist, merge, and dissolve into shifting layers of color. Her technique of layering and scraping wet paint mirrors the nonlinear process of memory and identity. Born in Tel Aviv and now based in London, Schindler draws from her own transitions to explore the fluid nature of selfhood. Her work captures identity as a process—fragmented, reconstructed, and alive. With a focus on the female form, she paints womanhood in all its complexity, refusing simplification.

"My grandmother was a sculptor, and my grandfather supported the arts so there were many works and art books around the house. I remember a small book of erotic drawings by Picasso which I liked, de Kooning's Woman series and the gnarly elongated figures of Schiele and Toulouse-Lautrec."
