Leonardo Drew
New York, NY
September 23, 2010–January 02, 2011
The final artist in our year-long WindowWorks series tribute to past residents is Leonardo Drew (IAIR 95.4). Throughout his career, Drew has been continuously engaged with the cyclical nature of existence. Made to resemble the detritus of everyday life, his formally abstract but emotionally charged compositions have an aesthetic authority and metaphorical weight that is as unique as it is symbolic, transcending time and place in favor of a celebration of things eternal. His practice can be described as a journey toward enlightenment, full of reprises and returns as well as new beginnings.
