Leonardo Drew

"Number 181"
Leonardo Drew uses tree trucks and wood to make his sculptures. His sculptures are usually monochromatic and he forms them through the processes of oxidation, burning and decaying. Leo grew up in a housing project that faced a landfill, a lot of his work is inspired by that. When he was a kid a picture of him and his painting of captain america was in the newspaper this was the very start of his "career". A lot of artist influenced Drew's art but he knew what he wanted to do when he saw Jackson Pollock's work. So far Leo Drew is my favorite artist out of the different artists we have looked at.
