Storm over Sedona, Original Painting

2022

Artist Comments
Artist Rick "Marlowe" Schneider paints a picturesque view of Mesa, Arizona. He shares a dimensional southwest scene with dynamic storm clouds over angular rock formations. A barren desert lays beneath the elevated landforms of Monument Valley. The stormy atmosphere evokes the region in all its raw, untamed beauty.

About the Artist
Artist Rick "Marlowe" Schneider creates mixed-media collages, combining the use of handmade paper with a raised dimensional technique. "This process produces distinct shadows which make the imagery jump off the canvas," says Rick. His work is a contemporary nod to 1930s and 1940s graphic design. By bringing together bold color combinations and patterns with quirky typefaces, Rick's work embodies the fun and elegant movie posters of Hollywood's Golden Age. Inspiration for his narratives comes from his father who was a pulp fiction writer. His loft studio in Leland, North Carolina, houses his archive of pulp magazines and stories from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. "My workspace is cluttered with canvases and handmade paper that I have imported from Thailand. It may be impossible to walk around but the atmosphere is perfect for creating."
