Through February 20, Ryan Schneider’s Send Me Through will be on display at Priska C. Juschka Fine Art Gallery in New York. Schneider’s work continues investigating the human condition through personal experience using painting.
Known for his dynamic process by carving, scratching or flattening paint and picture plane, Schneider looks at himself as a subject of his work. In Self Portrait as Missing the artist’s body is completely missing except for a silhouette sitting on a couch surrounded by brightly colored, empty bottles.
I’m All Around You depicts a picturesque village scene, reflected in crystal clear water and devoid of human interaction. Here, Schneider attempts to show what is important to humans and what exactly is missing. While Thanks For Sharing shows a picnic table filled with food and only arms reaching in from the edges of the canvas.
