Ryan Schneider


Works and lived in Joshua Tree in CA, Schneider an oil painter from a young age, he has over time shifted his artistic focus to creating sculptures primarily out of wood using chainsaws, chisels, paint and other tools to create distinct works. Schneider spent 14 years living and working in New York City before relocating to Joshua Tree, California in 2015.Deeply inspired by the various natural elements and lifeforms that he intimately encounters daily at his open-air studio, Schneider relies on simplicity in his work and employs the foundational tools of his painting practice in his approach to sculptural forms. Schneider has found success in his personal and creative conquests by freeing himself of society’s pressures to be excellent and letting the universe run its course. In his work, the artist has come to master a perfect balance between manipulating the material and letting it shape its own destiny.

在加州約書亞樹工作和生活的Schneider是一位從小就開始學習油畫的畫家。隨著時間的推移,他將藝術重心轉向主要使用鏈鋸、鑿子、顏料和其他工具創作木雕,並創造出很多獨一無二的作品。Schneider在紐約市生活和工作了14年,然後於2015年搬到加利福尼亞州的約書亞樹。他深受日常在戶外工作室中親密接觸的各種自然元素和生命形式的啟發,並在作品中實踐簡約,在雕塑形式的創作中運用他繪畫實踐的基本工具。Schneider通過擺脫社會對「目標卓越」的壓力,讓宇宙自然而然地運行,從而在個人和創意的追求中取得了成功。在他的作品中,這位藝術家已經掌握了操控材料與讓材料塑造自身命運之間的完美平衡。
