Albrecht Schnider - Profile

Albrecht Schnider develops a new landscape from the last finished, and in this way over the years smaller and larger groups have emerged. While each landscape is in itself closed and autonomous, according to the artist the series reveals very personal things, that is, his doubt and incapacity to create something absolute. "The moment of repetition has personally something to do with me too. I have the tendency to repeating episodes in my life, almost to the point of monotony. Anything that interrupts this monotony is ultimately a horror to me. To that extent, these landscape series could even be seen as self-portraits."

Albrecht Schnider (born 1958, in Lucerne, Switzerland) studied at the Hochschule für Gestaltung and the University of Berne. Since 1988 he has received numerous grants and awards for his artistic practice, including Eidgenössisches Kunststipendium in 1989, 1990, and 1992; Istituto Svizzero in Rome in 1990, and the award Manor-Kunstpreis of Lucerne in 1994. In 1998 Kunsthalle Bern e presented Schnider's first solo exhibition and since then the artist has exhibited extensively including museums and institutions in Lucerne, Zurich, Solothurn, and Aarau. Schnider is currently preparing an extensive exhibition on his sculptures and drawings for the Museum Solothurn. Since 1998, Albrecht Schnider lives and works in Berlin.
