Bob Schneider is an artist who transforms found visual media into thought-provoking works of art that challenge the viewer's perceptions of contemporary and popular culture. He juxtaposes iconic figures from comic books and other mass media and places them in everyday situations, leaving the viewer to interpret the meaning of the artwork. By appropriating old and valuable books, often intended for mass consumer consumption, Schneider creates something unique and personal for each viewer. Schneider's art invites the viewer to participate in the interpretation of his work, creating a personal and individualized experience for each person. The seeming simplicity of his pieces allows the viewer to focus on the larger picture and meaning behind the artwork. Schneider grew up and studied fine art in Germany before moving to the States where he was a fine arts major at the University of Texas. In addition to his work as an artist, Schneider is also a celebrated singer-songwriter. His music, like his art, blends different elements and influences to create something unique and engaging.
