Leonardo Drew

From Talley Dunn Gallery:

“Talley Dunn Gallery is proud to announce a solo exhibition of Leonardo Drew’s most recent wall-mounted sculptures, including a momentous site-specific installation which spans the entire length of the main gallery. Drew is known for his monumental assemblages containing thousands of undulating handmade components intricately interconnected in cohesive and immersive wholes. This exhibition’s installation, exceptional in both scale and ambition, marks the debut of a new style for Drew, one the artist has termed “pixel installation.” The other sculptures in the exhibition also showcase a new direction in the artist’s work, representative of Drew’s latest experiments with the formal qualities of the grid–—a form imbued with both personal and art historical resonances that the artist has dynamically investigated over the course of his career. Marking the artist’s own growth in his creative practice, these works mesmerize as thousands of seemingly worn scraps of wood and plaster evoke the passage of time, nature’s never-ending cycle of decay and regeneration.”
