Brian Schader

Largely self taught, Brian's work has taken many forms through the years.  Brian chose his profession over 30 years ago and has worked diligently to articulate his feelings and ideas through the mediums of sculpting, painting, printmaking, photography and poetry.

Brian believes in the importance of affecting his viewers in a positive way. Like most creative types, he's experienced his share of struggles in life and with the world around us, but chooses not to publicly chronicle negativity.  This is not to say work stemming from opinion and societal reflection aren't being created, quite the contrary, they just aren't being labeled or tend to seek an element of positivity. Works depicting a more despondent nature in Brian's extensive body of expression are few and far between but they do exist. What the future may hold? Well that is anyone's guess, after all he is an artist.

Brian is a member of the National Sculpture Society. His work has been featured in numerous newspaper articles, magazines both local and national. He has had One Man Showings through galleries in Scottsdale, Sedona, Las Vegas and Phoenix. Brian's work has been collected by individuals and corporations for decades. He's currently spending all of his time creating sculptural works. His sculptures are exclusively monumental in nature and suitable for indoor or outdoor display.

The inspiration behind many of Brian's sculptures is narrated by poem or prose, hand written by the artist, then etched into a solid copper plaque accompanying the piece. With a curiosity for Japanese Puzzle Boxes, Brian always tries to conceal connections or attachment points within his sculptures, and when it is necessary to reveal hardware or a weld he prefers them to be part of the art by making them bold or exaggerated.
