Ubiquity
Leonardo Drew: Ubiquity explores the artist's contemplative abstract sculptures that balance order and chaos using materials like wood, glass, plaster, and cotton. This exhibition, Drew's second at Galerie Lelong, Paris, features a site-responsive installation and a series of core works reflecting the gallery's historic 18th-century environment. Drew's art continually adapts to its surroundings, embodying themes of life, decay, and nature's renewal through transformation and reinvention.
Galerie Lelong, 13 Rue de Téhéran, Paris, France. Runs through July 13, 2024.
Exhibition Description
Drew’s second exhibition at Galerie Lelong, Paris, will highlight a new site-responsive explosion installation and a series of “core” works that include glass and painted plaster. Each new material offers Drew a new canvas of possibility of reinvention and extension and at the same time, the re-purposing of materials gives them new energy and meaning. Drew adapted the site responsive explosion to reflect Lelong’s historic 18th century environment. “The adaptability of the work is the life of the work,” says Drew, and the relationship and reinvention of the sculpture to site is a challenge he accepts.
