Leonardo Drew: Cycles, From the Collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
Leonardo Drew’s prints, at once powerfully large yet fragile, test the versatility of the medium, transforming cotton paper pulp and pigment into what suggests densely populated cities, a forest, or an urban wasteland. They sometimes look like maps of geographical landscapes viewed from above, while others are reminiscent of the night sky and distant galaxies. Evocative of fire, soil, sky, and water, there are strong perceptions in both microcosmic and macrocosmic scale.
Jawshing Arthur Liou's ambitious new artwork House of the Singing Winds, a multichannel video inspired by the historical Indiana home and studio of painter Theodore Clement (T.C.)
