NYAB Event - Ryan Schneider "Send Me Through"

Ryan Schneider "Send Me Through"

Priska C. Juschka Fine Art

This event has ended.

Schneider’s work continues to investigate the human condition from a personal point of view, seen through the lens of an obsessive truth seeker and executed with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. Rarely deductive of daily life, but rather revealing the actual state of our personal experience, Schneider enhances his method of leaving out the superficially conclusive to favor the inclusion of the unspoken, the unconscious and the unknown. By carving, scratching or flattening paint and picture plane, Schneider leads the way to a painting’s inner life, to its seductiveness or its uncanny implications—creating an aura of possessive enamoredness with his work. His painting, Self Portrait as Missing, entirely void of the artist’s physique except for his silhouette, points to his intensified search for a truth beyond the obvious.

Leaving apparent mandates behind, Schneider’s new work advances into the sphere of the sublime, using our mundane actions and observations to validate the emergence of a reality within ourselves and beyond our social denominations.

Schneider was born in Indianapolis, IN and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He holds a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD. His work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions in New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Copenhagen, Denmark; Dresden, Germany; London, UK; Seoul, South Korea and most recently Toronto, Canada. He has also curated several group shows in New York, NY, including Everybody at Envoy Gallery, and With Teeth and For Pleasure at Priska C. Juschka Fine Art.
