Through the Other Trees

Metalagram


Metalagram was developed first, “metal” and “hologram”. Crafted on industrial aluminum, a hand made layered process of etching, engraving, grinding, painting, and printing creates a multi-dimensional, interactive artwork.

Metalamirror


MetalaMirror was next developed, “metal” and mirror”. It evolved to utilize the changing and reflective qualities of hand made silver mirrors along with the Metalagram layer to invite viewers into the narriative as collaborators.

Metalamix


Metalamix combines the multilayer process of the two previous art forms with a mixture of various media including digital painting, photography, video, animation and AI. They can be physical prints and or digital, with static or continuous movement. They are stand alone, and are related to its earlier two art forms.

Meeting the Schinkel Fine Art team has been one of the highlights of my year as an interior decorator. As standalone artworks, I love that their pieces look different throughout the day because of their metallic quality. In the context of a room, their pieces are luminous enough to reflect light and highlight any room design in both modern and traditional settings. I highly recommend choosing their artwork as an accent. Linda and Ted have been an outstanding mother-and-son team to work with!

Schinkel Fine Art

Schinkel Fine Art is an art+architecture centered cultural space exhibiting the artwork of mother-and-son artists Linda K Schinkel (Rodney) and Theodore M Schinkel. The internationally acclaimed artists present a gallery experience of indoor and outdoor visual artwork in the oldest brick dwelling in Detroit, formerly known as the Moross House. Since 2010 the artists have cultivated a collaborative practice that blends hands-on metalwork, mirror-making, drawing, photography, painting, printing, and digital technology created in Detroit.


Schinkel Fine Art is located in the former Moross House, built circa 1840 by Christopher Moross. A Detroit Secret Garden oasis featuring ivy covered brick walls and the oldest wisteria vines in the Midwest backyard awaits your visit. This historic indoors and outdoors space is a renewed vessel for art engagement in an architecturally significant property, also serving as an event venue.


Additionally, Conceptions Connect, a 501(c)(3) charity founded by Linda and Teddy Schinkel to support educational and community enrichment, operates from Schinkel Fine Art at the Moross House.
