Toby Gotesman Schneier is an American Expressionist artist best known for her unique ability to transform objects, people, scenes, & events into jarring and provocative works of art.
Her compassion for the human condition, and tenacious belief in a higher power, are conspicuous throughout the work and noted frequently. Her art evokes a poignant sense of nostalgia and sentiment, even a longing with the viewer, as the pieces appear laced with familiarity, ethnicity, and a heightened sense of irony & collective injustice. Her unabashed and highly unusual use of colour, shape, texture and astounding lack of conventional art mores gives her a keen ability to SHOCK the viewer into a type of action with her bold and direct imagery. Especially her narration of the Holocaust through her art is captivating and evocative. She has gleaned her enormous notoriety throughout the International Art Community.
As so many others, including me, want to tell the story of the Holocaust, we are often silenced on social media by those who don’t want the stories told. In Toby’s case, Facebook stopped her from spreading her work.
