d berman gallery kicks off
2007 with Islands, a vibrant show of new paintings
by Christopher Schade. He says, “I use the island
form to paint people, animals, plants, architecture,
mechanical objects, portraits and landscapes simultaneously.
The openness of the islands creates a space for
freedom and contradiction. I want the expansiveness
of these images to generate surprise. I want the
world in the paintings to come apart and rebuild
itself the way the real world does.” Mr. Schade
received his MFA from Yale University School of
Art and a BAA from University of Texas at Austin,
and had a residency at the Skowhegan School of Painting
and Sculpture. He currently lives and maintains
a studio in New York, and teaches at Montclair State
University.
