Schneider, uses a variety of mediums like oil paint, acrylic washes, and screen print inks. He introduces a "backdrop" and considers his start to a painting much like a live theatre performance. His art imparts a sense of discovery and depth, mirroring his belief in uncovering the hidden systems beneath images. The viewer is consistently asked to unravel and experience the unfolding narratives in his robust and dynamic pieces. Music, poetry, and photography have always been starting points for his work. These serve as reference points that provide a mixture of visual cues to understand the rhythm, gesture, and depth within the work. Schneider believe's painting is the perfect way to critique work you already admire, because you can take the most interesting elements in that work and then push your work as the new way forward; to make it become the next important step. For him, it's the tradition in art and in creative thought.
