ACCORDING
to Sydney art duo Gillie and Marc Schattner, happiness
can be found only by accepting what you have in the
present.
This is perhaps why, when the pair grew jealous of each
other’s individual successes, they accepted they
could never be happily married with separate careers. Saying goodbye to the unattainable ideal, they joined
forces to share their successes as a team. Fifteen years later, they are preparing for their exhibition
It Takes Two, a summary of the Wishful Thinking series,
at Linton and Kay Fine Art Gallery this month.

'The Perfect Gift' by Gillie and Marc Schattner
Published by Random House
November 2008
BOOK
REVIEWS
‘How is it in life that such simple messages are
lost ? My children need to understand the messages in
your book, and they will. But more importantly wouldn’t
it be amazing if our business leaders, politicians,
even world leaders took a few minutes to consume, digest,
understand and appreciate the simplicity of the story
and how happiness can be so close and so easy to achieve.
If I had a red hat, I’d take it off to you. Congratulations..’ Larry Emdur, TV personality/host
‘I did love the book! I really did! I
read the story to my little five year old in bed. We
read it again. We then had to read it again! And again!
And even again! That night, we read ‘The Perfect
Gift’, five times! It was funny, thoughtful, beautifully
illustrated and slightly queer. All the things that
children love. It is on the top of our reading book
pile and I believe my little boy is taking it to Show
and Tell on Friday! Congratulations and thanks so much
for sending your great story to us!.’ Alannah
Hill, designer

Domestic
Delights
The Brisbane Sunday Mail
16 September
2007
THE pop art canvases
painted by Gillie and husband Marc Schattner bring a
cheerful image of domestic life – not too sweet
but bordering on whimsical.
A little girl eyeing an ice cream, an older girl drooling
at a flash Mini Cooper, another reflecting Paris Hilton
with her penchant for small dogs, and a larger weimaraner
dog by an armchair are indicative of how their artwork
reflects what we find comfortable about our home lives
and what amuses us.
Marc, an advertising creative director and Gillie, a
graphic artist, have been working together for 15 years,
often brainstorming at night and on weekends in the
garage they converted into a studio in their Sydney
home.

Opinion
Polls
The Daily Telegraph
5 September 2007
John Howard and
Kevin Rudd are used to being nailed to power poles in
the name of politics, but last week they were being
hung high in the name of art.
As a breeze ruffled through the trees of Bellevue Hill,
married artists Gillie and Marc Schattner hammered their
latest collaborative art works on to the pole outside
their home. One was a poster of Howard with a puppy,
the other was Rudd with a baby.
Each poster carried the none too subtle message: VOTE
ME.
In coming weeks, up to 1000 of the posters will appear
as the Schattners and helpers paste them up.

John Konrads on Canvas
Black Dog Institute
13 June 2007
One of the finalists
for the 2006 Archibald Prize, Australia's oldest and
best known art award, is a painting of Olympian swimmer
John Konrads, entitled 'John and his Black Dog'. The
outstanding work was a joint effort by artists Gillie
and Marc Schattner (pictured right). The couple have
kindly donated the painting to the Black Dog Institute
in recognition of John Konrads' leading role, both as
a board member of the Institute and as a community leader
in breaking down the barriers around mental illness
- in particular, mood disorders.
The large painting will be placed on display at the
Black Dog Institute facility on the grounds of the Prince
of Wales Hosptial.
