Recent solo exhibitions include “No Filter Eden”at V1 Gallery, Copenhagen, “Mojave Masks” at The Schneider Museum of Art, Ashland, Oregon, “You Are Entering” at Richard Heller Gallery, Los Angeles, and “Mojave Pictures” at Taymour Grahne, New York.

His work is held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Hall Art Foundation and the Bank of America Collection. He has been reviewed or featured in The New Yorker, Art in America, The New York Times, Modern Painters, The Brooklyn Rail, ArtInfo, Artsy, Kunsten.dk, and The Paris Review, among many other publications. After many years in New York City, Schneider now lives and works in Joshua Tree, California.
His latest works are dreamy and richly colored, often featuring a spiritually charged, even shamanic quality. “I create paintings from my experiences and observations, portraying moments of bewilderment, tension, exhilaration, and fatigue as I encounter them in the real world,” he says. Schneider’s work is an exercise in personal theater—an exploration into the way in which experience and the expression of it can diverge.
