artist statement

Schroeder's work is known for its physicality, rawness and remarkable elegance. The artist's primary interests are to create abstract sculptures that evoke tension within form; for the sculptures to ultimately change the space into a definitive visual experience.

His art is driven by a fascination with the transformative power of metal: its ability to be molded, shaped, and manipulated into an infinite number of forms and structures. Schroeder explores the potential of raw material to take on new identities and meanings through the creative process. Through the use of heat, pressure, and various techniques, he manipulates the metal into abstract and organic shapes that evoke a sense of movement and change.

Schroeder's sculptures engage the viewer on a visual and emotional level, inviting them to consider the power of transformation and the potential for change.
