Wood, paint, sand, and mixed media
Variable Dimensions
Leonardo Drew’s large-scale wall and floor installations, are dynamic compositions of painted and distressed wooden fragments that radiate outward in a suspended state of motion. These works suggest rupture and dispersal, yet are meticulously composed, with what Drew calls “entropy as baseline” balanced by an underlying structural order. in many of these installations elements appear to shatter and scatter, drawing viewers into their energetic field. Influenced by his time in Jingdezhen, China, these installations reflect a growing engagement with color and material transformation, offering a visceral meditation on collective memory, decay, and renewal.
