Tonga Schneider

Fine Artist

Tonga Schneider explores the human body, movement and colour. Figures in motion, usually in a state of ecstasy. The photographs, drawings and collages capture frozen moments of energy of figures in movement that represent something that is alive.She looks at ways of living and tries to merge these observations to create a space that initiates a new way of life. She finds this very significant in our generation were there is frustration in the air and a search for new ways of living. She is curious and interested in observing the eccentric behaviour of people when sharing and when reserved or defensive. She play’s with the uncensored outbursts of emotion, whether letting everything out, or keeping it all in. Those figures for her are a call for directness and strength from myself as well as the society around me. Lately her key influences are street artists, such as Sam 3, Blu, Swoon, and JR. These artists are able to explain through visual aesthetics what in most cases can’t be explained by words. Art, for them is a journey, the process is a desire. Like those artists, she feels that being in the streets, enables her to observe a more naked society, interacting with the architecture as well as the people. She views her role in the middle of a triangle attempting to merge people (audience), environment and artist. After CSM she is opening an artist residency on a Greek island in collaboration with another artist, Aurore Pelisson. This residency aims to teach a self-sustainable living in an entirely ecological house as well as share skills through workshops to locals residents, tourist and visitors on the island Amorgos. The space will be used for collective projects, shows, concerts and events in one of the most inspiring places she knows.
