The work of David Schnell is crucial in the development and inspiration for my own work. Upon discovering his paintings whilst browsing the exhibition catalogues in the library, I was immediately struck by his use of bold colours to present such delicate landscapes. Moreover his use of abstract forms which integrate effortlessly in to his landscapes create a sense of perspective and give depth to the painting. It was this which I began to become interested in; I figured this fitted in with the project description of 'Art and Audience' as the purpose of his work was to manipulate the viewers gaze, subsequently drawing them in to the landscape, giving a strange sense of familiarity, almost as if you have been there before.
