Schneider

My work probes the margins of beauty, functionality and aesthetic standards. Using a wide range of ceramic techniques, I make sculptural forms, which I describe as Punk-Baroque.

They are embellished collage-like pieces, accentuated with gold lustres and inspired by traditional transfer-ware as well as the resonances and detritus of contemporary urban life.

This contrast mirrors my personal artistic roots:
I’ve lived in London for more than 20 years, after having grown up in East Berlin, where art was either the official prescribed images of glorified workers and communist heroes, or the unofficial underground, with the danger of discovery and subsequent punishment.
