Leonardo Drew is an African American contemporary artist. His works often explore decay and regeneration of natural materials like wood. As a young boy, he was influenced by other artists like Jackson Pollock. Drew's art, through the media it explores, often tells a story. His works also silently boast his carpenter-like abilities. I really like this artwork which is made of wood and paint. It is very simple but somehow draws my attention with the different shapes of wood he uses. It is also ironic that he used wood to make an image of a tree like figure.
