Gil Marco Shani (Hebrew: גיל מרקו שני; born 1968) is an Israeli painter, installation artist and educator, who lives and works in Tel Aviv.

[citation needed] From the Sandberg Prize for Israeli Art committee: ['His paintings feature a schematic outline on a uniform background, and they mark events, many of which bubble under the surface of polite culture.

The spaces he created, such as: motel rooms, tropical forest, nightly stairway or enclosed bus depot, are surprising environments, charged and rich in details.

Shani succeeds in surprising visitors each time in an artificial environment, full of beauty that is enveloped by a petrifying silence and feelings of threat and anxiety.
