At once monumental and intimate in scale, his work recalls post-Minimalist sculpture that alludes to America\u2019s industrial past. Drew transforms accumulations of raw materials such as wood, scrap metal, and cotton to articulate various overlapping themes with emotional gravitas: from the cyclical nature of life and decay to the erosion of time. His surfaces often approach a language of their own, embodying the labored process of writing oneself into history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drew\u2019s works have been shown internationally and are included in numerous public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and Tate, London. His works have recently been acquired by The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.; Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut; North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh; Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art, Bloomington, Indiana; and New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana among others.(Image and bio credits:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/galerielelong.com\/artists\/24-leonardo-drew\/\">Galerie LeLong<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, March 11, 7:30 p.m.Wanamaker Hall, Principia College, Elsah, IL 62028 For over three decades, Leonardo Drew has become known for creating contemplative abstract sculptural works that play upon a tension between order and chaos.
