Ryan Schneider
After many years of living and painting in New York City, I moved my home and studio to Joshua Tree, California, in 2015, where I created all of the work for this exhibition.
While working in an open-air studio, with the vast desert as a backdrop, I was forced to fight (and quickly inspired to embrace) nature’s elements such as strong winds, intense light and excessive heat (all of which helped to influence and shape this current body of work).Whereas my previous work had been informed and inspired by big-city living, dense population and “noise,” the juxtaposed spaciousness, isolation and solitude of the desert provided me with a vastly different, almost sacred, space in which to create a whole new body of work.For me, painting has always been a spiritual practice and, in my new (almost alien-like) surroundings, I felt like a conduit for the works that I created for this exhibition (as if they had been patiently awaiting my arrival in the desert in order to finally come to fruition). New work by Ryan Schneider will be exhibited in Richard Heller Gallery's booth, 345, at Expo Chicago, 2018.
