PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CONVERSATION: WENDI SCHNEIDER AND LAURIE LAMBRECHT

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

–- Rachel Carson, The Silent Spring

The Etherton Gallery in Tucson, Arizona has just opened the exhibition, Reverence: Laurie Lambrecht and Wendi Schneider, that runs through June 10, 2023. Reverence pairs Laurie Lambrecht’s embroidered photographs on linen with Wendi Schneider’s gilded photographs on kozo paper, highlighting recent directions in object-based photography. 

Sharing exhibition walls with another artist is always a great opportunity to connect more deeply with a photographer whose work is in conversation with your own. We continue the conversation off the wall and onto the page as Lambrecht and Schneider explore each other’s practices and influences. — Aline Smithson, Lenscratch

Opening Reception: 
June 4, 11am – 4pm CT
2635 Colquitt St, Houston, TX

Catherine Couturier Gallery is delighted to present Into the Mist, an exhibition of new work by gallery artist Wendi Schneider.

In her latest series, Schneider offers glimpses of respite amidst the vague unknowing that has defined living in the time of COVID. She ventured into the mountains of North Carolina at the end of Summer 2020 to find a reprieve in shinrin-yoku, the Japanese term for the practice of forest bathing. The photographs captured on a drive amongst the trees and fog inspired Into the Mist.

“Into the Mist” at Rick Wester Fine Art

Wendi Schneider’s first solo exhibition at Rick Wester Fine Art
On view February 10 – April 2, 2022
Opening Reception: February 10, 6-8pm ET
526 W 26th St, #417, New York

“Schneider shoots with the ghosts of Brigman, Steichen, Stieglitz and other members of the pre-Modernist Photo Secession standing by her side, lending her work a timeless, beguiling air of memory. For Schneider, time itself is her demeanor, her medium where a conversation well over a century old continues between her and those artists who inspire her . . .  Paying homage to those who used photographic imagery like ingredients in some pictorial gumbo, she uses time as a spice infused with narrative, a flavor seeped into the process of layering effects. Building a bridge into this digital age, Schneider unabashedly flaunts her camera vision, informing it with a printmaker’s devices and a painter’s disregard for rules.” – Rick Wester

Wendi Schneider’s “Patina Collection” in IF 6 at Rick Wester Fine Art

IF 6 is Rick Wester Fine Art Gallery’s first in-person group exhibition since before the start of the pandemic, signifying the beginning of a return to normalcy. In the same light, IF 6 brings hints of ecstasy, springtime and rebirth.

IF 6 is a visual representation of adaptability and perspective, with the title taken from Jimi Hendrix’s song, “If 6 Was 9,” which questions the possibility of another scenario. What would happen if 6 was 9, if the situation were reversed, if something you thought you knew ended up being something else entirely? It is a metaphor for the experience of the past year for most of us, everywhere.”

Wendi Schneider Featured in “Still in the Studio” at Catherine Couturier Gallery

“It has been a year of more and less. More appreciation, compassion, loss, recognition, reflection, solitude, and work. Less travel, interaction, and concern about unimportant things. Even mundane tasks have developed into more meditative moments. I am acutely aware of the passage of time and of my emotions, which seem to resonate more deeply. And as usual, but perhaps more than ever, I have turned to my art for serenity and respite, as making art to celebrate beauty has always been my personal refuge…” — Wendi Schneider

Wendi contributed a post to Still in the Studio, a weekly series created in response to the pandemic, where artists offer insight into their work and artist practice.

Wendi Schneider Now Represented by Vision Gallery in Jerusalem

“In a recent article published on Artnet, I noted that there is a trend in contemporary photography, a movement that might be called neo-Romanticism, in which artists seek ‘a transcendent union between nature, science & humanity.’ This harmonious fusion of elements is easily discerned in the works of artist Wendi Schneider. Wendi’s work shares an affinity with other Vision artists, most notably Beth Moon and Jennifer Schlesinger and with my own ‘Celestial Nights’ series. . .  [Wendi’s] images and prints are unique, I have never seen anything like them. We are privileged to have it at Vision. You are invited to schedule a live or virtual visit to the gallery and see the work in person.”

Wendi Schneider featured in Catherine Couturier Gallery’s “Safe in the Studio” Series

“My practice has not shifted measurably in the time of Covid-19. I turn to nature to dwell in serenity amidst the chaos, for it is there I find sanctuary and respite. I am transfixed and transformed when I capture impressions of fleeting grace in the natural world. Calmed by fluid, organic shapes reminiscent of the elegant whiplash lines of art nouveau botanicals, I photograph intuitively.“

Wendi contributed a post to Safe in the Studio, a weekly series created in response to the pandemic, where artists offer insight into their work and artist practice.
