Leonardo Drew’s works on paper extend his sculptural language into a more intimate, two-dimensional format. Made with materials like colored dirt, thread, paint, wood, plaster, and wax, these compositions reflect Drew’s signature interest in transformation, entropy, and material memory. Despite their modest scale, each work is richly textured and layered, embodying a tactile, almost topographic surface. These “drawings” do not merely rest on the page but rise from it, continuing Drew’s investigation into the tension between structure and disintegration in a condensed, expressive form.
