art place berlin shows: Sands of Time - the fascinating paintings by David Snider

BERLIN - June 11, 2014 - PRLog -- ‘One is ever conscious of the transience of all things, and of nature’s smiling indifference, also that art is but imitation of nature.

It is not possible for me to put into words the makings of my inspiration and creativity, but I can say that my work has been influenced by the Impressionists of Europe and by the Abstract Expressionists of America. They eliminate the boundaries of convention and allow the creative spirit to run free. My work with palette knife is like sculpting on canvas with all the means of expression and form it offers.

Art is long and time is fleeting, but to quote Shakespeare: ‘One touch of nature makes the whole world kin’.’ – David Snider

David Snider was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1950 and grew up in New England and Florida. He studied English and American Literature at the University of Massachusetts, the University of Leeds/UK and at the Albert-Ludwig-Universität in Freiburg i.B., and took a Bachelor of Arts Degree (cum laude) from the Univ. of Massachusetts in 1984.

Subsequently, he took a BA (Hons) Degree from the Winchester School of Art/UK in 1998, since which time he has actively engaged his passion for painting.

‘My work emerges from an imagination that draws upon the memories and themes of my youth in America and the many paths I have taken in my life.’ – David Snider
