"Composition 202.3" is a captivating cubist/abstract mixed media sculpture by Dan Schneiger, circa 2020. The sculpture is a harmonious assembly of wood, foam core, plaster, and resin, brought to life with a hand-applied golden bronze metallic finish that radiates with a lustrous warmth.
One of Schneiger's signature techniques is his application of metallic finishes that give his lightweight materials the illustrious appearance of heavy metals like bronze. This transformative approach not only exhibits his command over materials but also plays with the viewer's expectations, creating a dichotomy between visual weight and actual lightness.
The sculpture stands at 11.5 inches in height, 11 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth—a compact size that allows its intricate form and textured surfaces to be appreciated up close. Signed and dated by Schneiger, it's a personal testament to his creative journey and skill.
Dan Schneiger’s work exists at the convergence of architecture and art, drawing influence from the digital revolution to embrace a hands-on creation process. His sculptures are conversations in three dimensions, drawing lines through history to the works of masters like Louise Nevelson and Paul Evans, and embodying the solid, geometric principles of Brutalism and the fragmented perspectives of Cubism.
"Composition 202.3" is not merely a static object; it is dynamic and alive with the interplay of light and shadow across its multifaceted surface. Crafted with reclaimed materials, this sculpture is part of Schneiger's broader commentary on sustainability and his innovative reimagining of construction waste as a medium for art. Its block-like forms, reminiscent of architectural maquettes or natural rock formations, evoke a sense of both the built environment and the raw, untouched world.
This piece is more than a sculptural artifact; it is a representation of Schneiger's philosophy, where the past and present of architectural design merge with the timeless pursuit of artistic expression. - More Information
