The house continues to be Schaumburger’s structural arbiter. As both symbol and support—Schaumburger paints on shaped panels reminiscent of a child’s rendering of home: a rectangle with a pitched roof—it offers a foundation, readymade but not taken for granted, on which to explore pictorial form. Each “house” is divided into three sections; inside these divisions, Schaumburger fits fractured designs, radically condensed images—emblems, really—and startling turns of color. Ornamentation powers the pictures as does a newfound interplay between figure and ground.
