Anne-Marie Schneider
Biography
Born in 1962 in Chauny (France). Lives and works in Paris (France).
Drawing is her medium of predilection and becomes a form of daily writing, a diary. Her works oscillate between dream and reality, reminiscences and fantasies, through a rich iconographic repertory of figures, animals and objects of which roles, statuses and codes are disrupted.
Schneider first gained international repute primarily for her endearing, pared-down drawings that have the immediacy of strip cartoons. Schneider's work is at once tragic and absurd, lending it a profound psychological impact. Her intimate, articulate drawings read like diary entries. In Schneider's work, the personal and the political go hand in hand. The drawings comment on everyday experiences, literature, political events and media images. Her rapid sketches testify to a fascination with commonplace situations. With a gentle mockery, she challenges conventions and expectations, and by doing so creates space for the imagination and for the a-typical individual. A selection of her drawings was presented in Documenta X in Kassel (1993), followed by solo presentations in 2003 and 2008 at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
