“Profile II” Hand-Carved 3D Sculpture by Lawrence Schneider, 2007

A captivating sculptural portrait by Lawrence Schneider, hand-carved from rich cherry wood. The work, titled “Profile II”, explores the tension between abstraction and human expression the face emerging organically from a crescent-like form.
Its smooth, tactile surface and sculptural precision highlight Schneider’s mastery of wood as a living medium, giving the piece a quiet sense of introspection and presence. A unique, signed work that bridges fine craftsmanship and conceptual clarity.

An underappreciated and relatively unknown artist, Schneider’s work has gained increasing recognition among collectors who value purity of form and emotional subtlety. Pieces like this demonstrate why his oeuvre deserves far wider appreciation.
