David Schnell (born in Bergisch Gladbach in 1971) is one of the most known painters of his generation. He studied painting in the class of professor Arno Rink at the Hochschule fur Grafk und Buchkunst (Academy of Visual Arts) in Leipzig. Since then he is living and working in Leipzig. David Schnell paints landscapes. Despite all the serenity and balance of its composition, often produced by a strong one-point perspective, David Schnell’s painting creates the feeling of being drawn into the picture. The viewers stand as if on a ramp in front of Schnell’s paintings, imaginarily just about to plunge into the picture. His paintings open up like a window onto a dynamized pictorial space.
