Artist Statement for Reif Snyder
|
|
|
Art presents humanity new ways of seeing and communicating -
an ever evolving tradition I consider myself privileged to be a part of. I love the challenge of creating my view of the world, from mind to hand to canvas and paper.
I have a BFA degree from Boston University School of Fine Art,
Boston, Mass. I was a painting major. My youth was spent in Easton, Pa . where my father was a professor at Lafayette College. I was fortunate to have access to many cultural programs and exhibits the college afforded, plus easy access to the galleries and museums in New York City and Philadelphia. These advantages had significant impact and assisted me in moving forward as an artist.
I used soft pastel for the first years of my career and focused on
the figure and interiors and on French urban and country scenes.
The work has been exhibited at many solo shows at the Hahn
Gallery in Philadelphia, Pa and in group shows at the Nan Miller
Gallery in Rochester, NY., at the Woodmere Art Museum, Phila
delphia, Pa, Boston University, Boston Mass., WXXI Fine Art
Auction , J,Barrett Galleries, Toledo, Ohio and the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY.
I am now using oil on canvas and panels interpreting landscape
