David Schnell
David Schnell, born in 1971 in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, is an international contemporary German painter. From 1995 to 2000 he completed his studies at Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Lipsia and now he is associated with the New Leipzig School. Afterwards he has been a Arno Rink’s master class student from 2000 to 2022.
His works represent colorful and geometric landscapes, spaces composed from the intersections of colorful bars through which create a dynamic and spatial kaleidoscope. His choices are based on the representation of countryside landscapes and familiar places, realized with a dynamic and energetic perspective, creating such an abstract nature that its result is impossible to recognize.
The internal velocity of his works leads to a destabilization and discussion of the time itself.
He attracts the viewer through the multicolored pictorial space, where the artificial architectonics elements violate the natural space. He takes into consideration and reflects the urban threats towards the nature showcasing the never-ending developments of contemporary globalization.
In 2010 Schnell held a personal exhibition at Stunde Kunstverein, Hannover, which he then exposed at Gemeentemuseum in The Hague and at the Museum zu Allerheiligen Schaffhausen.
The artist was commissioned to project the “Friedensfenster” (Window of Peace) at Saint Thomas church, in Lipsia. In 2013 Schnell received the scholarship at Villa Massimo and in 2016 he was commissioned to project a window of Christuskirche Church in Cologne.
