Leonardo Drew
Leonardo Drew（利奥纳多·德鲁）生于1961年，在位于美国康涅狄格州布里奇波特市的一个被堆填区围绕的公屋社区内长大。
利奥纳多·德鲁的创作一方面取材自残旧、氧化或被烧毁的物质，一方面结合新材料，对它们进行重组，再合并成更大型作品。透过作品，Drew表达著存在的普遍性和万物间的关联性。他通过对材质内在特性的组合以及它们拼凑出来的抽象雕塑的形式去阐明个中关系。
Leonardo Drew is known for his abstract sculptural installations, which incorporate materials such as paper, rope, wood, paint chips, tree branches and roots, and sheet metal. In Drew’s hands, these raw materials are exhaustingly transformed to resemble debris. While artistically rooted in art movements of the 1950s and 60s including abstract expressionism, minimalism, and Arte Povera, Drew - influenced by non-Western philosophical traditions - view his work as a reflection of the cyclical nature of time, the continual processes of transformation, and the connectivity of all things. This is perhaps most evident in the artist’s practice of incorporating parts of earlier works into newer pieces, including several of the works on view in the current exhibition.
