Serge Mendjisky
Serge Mendjisky was born in Paris in 1929. His father, Maurice Mendjisky, was a painter from the School of Paris, which is how Serge became acquainted with the world of art from an early age.
After studying at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, he quickly made a name for himself and exhibited in Europe, Japan, and the United States.
He used photography to do his preliminary studies in painting. By breaking down and recomposing the skylines of the world’s most famous cities, Serge Mendjisky created new urban landscapes that challenge our perceptive abilities.
Serge Mendjisky’s work is represented in both public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.

Biography

With each experiment, the artist invites us to experience visual stimulation with ever-changing dynamics. – Hervé Le Goff
Volumes, lights, and colors create different visual rhythms that establish new relationships between Time and Space.
Through Serge Mendjisky’s creative lens, Broadway becomes an explosion of multicolored lights, while downtown New York waltzes poetically to the sounds of a cello. Recognizable urban landscapes are redefined and their reality reformulated into three dimensions.
