"Number 76S" (2019) is a captivating work by contemporary artist Leonardo Drew, renowned for his intricate sculptures crafted from repurposed materials. The piece, a square relief sculpture measuring 60 x 60 x 5 1/4 inches, is constructed from a grid of small, densely packed squares, seemingly built from layers of layered paper and organic materials. The textured surface evokes a sense of depth and movement, while the subtle variations in color and form create a mesmerizing visual experience. Drew's work often explores themes of memory, history, and the passage of time, and this piece exemplifies his masterful use of materials and his profound engagement with the act of creation.
