Sharon Drew’s recent acrylics combine intellectual rigour with aesthetic delight to please eye and heart, and stimulate the mind. Her complex, layered abstracts play at the far edge of figuration – with suggestions of flood and fire, wave and sun. The heart of her work is a passionate dialogue with restless process – from chance staining to precise brushstroke. This vivid conversation between the act of making and the resulting forms, produces dynamic shifts in style, motif and palette. A happy state of flux animates each piece and engages the viewer with gorgeous colour, mesmeric line and seductive ambiguity.
