Leonardo Drew

Leonardo Drew creates amazing sculptures.  He was born in Bridgeport CT and started art when he was young.  After an exhibit in high school, he decided that he wanted to be a famous artist.  His work truly amazes me.  It is so unique and individualized.  he pieces that he exhibits are made from things that you wouldn't expect. The This sculpture, labeled Untitled 25, consists of numerous cotton bales can be discussed in terms of his enduring adherence to the minimalist grid. The piece also expresses the intense labor the artist went through to create it as the artist actually made each bale from the cotton batting of mattresses. The cotton bales also evoke America's cotton industry that was built on slave labor.
