Utilizing a decidedly Do It Yourself aesthetic, curator and artist Ryan Schneider has pieced together a group of 17 artists working in various media, most of whom are personally connected in some way to him and each other. Their work relates loosely to one another and seems to have been propelled by certain cultural references which generate a conceptual common ground.

Priska C. Juschka Fine Art is pleased to present WITH TEETH, a
multi-faceted group exhibition of hard-working/hard playing and feverish
young artists curated by painter Ryan Schneider. Utilizing a decidedly Do
It Yourself aesthetic, Schneider has pieced together a group of seventeen
artists working in various media, most of whom are personally connected in
some way to him and each other. Their work relates loosely to one another
and seems to have been propelled by certain cultural references which
generate a conceptual common ground.
Working slowly with thin layers, *Van Hanos* paints fantastical images that
are creepily veiled beneath an otherworldly iridescence. Adrian
Crabbs' work surprisingly exploits his morbid fascination with a
mundane,
lackadaisical lifestyle by creating multi media work that is glib on the
surface but oddly sentimental underneath. In her sublimely composed
photographs, Talia Chetrit presents the viewer with elusive moments of the
everyday; such as tire tracks on gravel, or trails left by airplanes that
are physically long gone. Through his installations, photographs and
writings, James J. Williams III quietly opens the door for us into his
personal life above all still managing to remain absolutely elusive. Jade
Townsend uses built and found objects to create sculpture that is always
confrontationally ambient and stubbornly rooted in down home punk rock
ethics. With his videos, paintings, and lectures, Alex
Hubbard fascinatingly explores a variety of bizarre incidents and
events, with a
particular slant in meth culture.
Seemingly trying to make sense of chaotic
urban life, Gretchen Scherer presents the viewer with raucously collaged
portraits of what we see on the streets and in the subways everyday,
injecting the images with a feel of impending eruption. Through his
photographs, Kane Austin documents the late nights, early mornings, and
intimate moments of his glitzy, gritty life while Michael
Yinger regurgitates American detritus to create sculptures and
installations that,
with Midwest charm, reflect a culture of waste and nastiness. Through a
vigorously disciplined process of painting and painting out, Chad
Scoville creates richly surfaced canvases elegantly monochromatic, and
full to the
brim with abstract muscle.
Sarah Braman utilizes widely considered
throw-away materials such as cardboard boxes, Plexiglas shards, and
fragmented canvas to create contemporarily modern looking sculpture calling
to mind beautiful makeshift shelters. With particular technical virtuosity,
Ry Fyan makes paintings and drawings allegiant to no particular surface or
style, gathering often unrelated imagery and transforming it into harmonious
overloaded compositions. Marcus Knupp places the viewer in an imagined
landscape, juxtaposing nonsensical images into seamless compositions. With
her diminutive realist canvases, Jenna Gribbon gives us an eerie, intimate
view into a quiet world of still interiors. With his madcap,
caricature-esque realism, Ryan Kitson creates sculptural objects that
explore the lesser known but all too interesting facets of pop culture, like
parrot toys and over-abundant jewelry habits. Suzanne Goldenberg makes
work that relies on the recycled material and detritus that populates our
urban landscape. The process oriented band Telepathe, centered around
Busy Gangnes and Melissa Livaudais, produces music that is
unconventionally danceable, abstractly moody, and ever evolving which they
will perform live at the opening.
Ryan Schneider is a painter originally from Indianapolis, IN that
currently lives and works in New York. He holds a BFA from the Maryland
Institute College of Art, Baltimore. He has previously exhibited in numerous
group shows in the US, and has independently published several poetry
anthologies. He recently had his first solo show at Priska C. Juschka Fine
Art.
