"Interzone" is a commanding brutalist / abstract mixed media sculpture by Dan Schneiger, created circa 2015. This piece, like many of Schneiger's works, features an intricate amalgamation of materials — wood, foam core, plaster, and resin — all coming together under a masterful hand-painted golden bronze metallic finish.

Measuring 21 inches in height, 24 inches in width, and 22 inches in depth, "Interzone" is a sculpture with substantial presence. Schneiger’s use of metallic finishes is particularly noteworthy as it lends a visual heaviness to the sculpture, evoking the solidity of bronze but crafted from materials that allow for an unexpected lightness. This artistic choice is a deliberate one, inviting viewers to reconsider their assumptions about the nature of materials and the essence of sculpture.

Each sculpture by Schneiger is a handcrafted testament to his ability to repurpose and transform reclaimed materials, ensuring that his artistic practice not only results in visually stunning pieces but also contributes to a more sustainable approach to art-making. "Interzone", with its complex, interlocking forms, is no exception. It embodies Schneiger's architectural heritage and his profound respect for the built environment, translated into the language of abstract art.

Signed and dated by the artist, "Interzone" is a piece that encapsulates Schneiger's philosophy and skill. The sculpture's rugged, block-like structures can be interpreted as a modern, artistic expression of architectural principles, creating a dialogue between the viewer and the art object that resonates with the raw, unrefined energy of Brutalism and the analytical fragmentation of Cubism. It is a piece that not only occupies space but also redefines it, inviting onlookers to engage with the physicality and the conceptual narratives woven into its creation.
