Albrecht Schnider

Albrecht Schnider is an artist who works in painting, drawing, and small-scale sculpture. His creative process is both imaginative and methodical, starting with the dialogue-based act of drawing and the examination of shape, and leading to the selection of colour and form. The resulting paintings are meticulously planned, structured and executed. They are abstract, featuring organically and geometrically shaped fields of color laid over monochromatic backgrounds. The use of different colours creates a contrast between the figure and the background, creating a positive and negative effect. He often starts with spontaneous, intuitive sketches that he develops further into more refined and structured paintings, creating a sense of a connection to the past and hinting at the potential for something new.
