Richard Snyder (American, born 1951) Untitled Mixed media painting including charcoal and watercolor Hand signed to lower right Dimensions: 30.0" W x 22.5" H x 0.1" D Richard Snyder is particularly known for his large-scale abstract expressionist paintings exhibiting vibrant colors, often applied in an irregular manner with large gestural brushstrokes. He also was an accomplished sculptor and was amongst the downtown New York art-furniture scene spawned in the 1980s by the Soho gallery ‘Art et Industrie’ founded by Rick Kaufmann. Downtown New York, circa 1977-1980 was a hothouse of creative impulses that flew in the face of restrictions and ran headlong toward riotous expression. Punk, hip-hop, graffiti or neo-expressionism, Kaufmann looked around for new talent that could create a new kind of art furniture. He felt the design of the day was so standardised, and he wanted to give voice to young artists and bring new ideas to market. After receiving a BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Snyder made his career in the fields of art and design, practicing sculpture, painting, furniture design and fabrication, interior design, cabinetmaking, construction and industrial design. Along with extensive experience in a wide variety of materials and processes, Snyder also possesses a wide range of visual and experiential vocabulary acquired in his many travels through the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Central and Southeast Asia. Snyder considers his objects to be not just about form, function, color, material and process, but rather to be fantasies with spirit, magic and story. During his seventeen years with the Art et Industrie gallery, Snyder participated in five solo shows and more than twenty group shows, which established him as a major player in the American Art Furniture movement. His pieces have appeared in numerous publications and media around the world; and they are included in numerous private collections worldwide as well as in the permanent collection of The Art Institute of Chicago. Snyder guest-lectures at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, the New School in New York, and SUNY Purchase. He was included in the seminal Magen H Gallery retrospective of Art et Industrie—a New York Movement. Art et Industrie was the first to exhibit Studio Alchemia, Shiro Takahama, and Ron Arad. The retrospective included artists such as Forrest Myers, Terence Main...

Shawarma, a delicious culinary delight enjoyed by many, takes center stage in this artwork. The artist playfully emphasizes the word "Shawarma" on the tote bag, highlighting its significance as a symbol of enjoyment and pleasure. This whimsical representation serves as a reminder to relish the simple, gastronomic experiences that can bring moments of happiness and contentment to our lives. "You can't buy happiness, but buy shawarma." These words resonate deeply, encapsulating the idea that true happiness cannot be purchased, but it can be found in the small, fleeting moments of joy. The artwork encourages us to seek happiness in the every day and appreciate the simple pleasures that add flavor to our lives. By celebrating the act of indulging in a beloved food like shawarma, the artist reminds us to embrace the little things that bring us happiness. "Sometimes a sad day is a good day to enjoy life." This thought-provoking statement challenges our perspective on difficult times, suggesting that even in moments of sadness, we can find solace in the small joys that surround us. The artwork portrays a young woman, perhaps caught in a moment of contemplation, choosing to uplift her spirits through the simple act of enjoying shawarma. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, we can find solace and pleasure in life's little pleasures. "Life is too short to not Shawarma" serves as a gentle reminder to live fully in the present. It urges us to savor the flavors, experiences, and connections that make life beautiful. In a world that often rushes by, this artwork encourages us to slow down and appreciate the present moment, relishing the delicious tastes and sensations that bring us joy. Food has an incredible ability to bring people together, transcending cultural boundaries and creating moments of shared happiness. The artwork's focus on shawarma as a source of enjoyment underscores the significance of culinary delights in our lives. It invites us to celebrate the diverse flavors and experiences that the world of food offers, fostering connections and creating memories.
