DREW EILERS WAS BORN IN CANADA AND ATTENDED ART COLLEGE IN TORONTO WHERE HE STUDIED DRAWING, DESIGN AND ANIMATION.

AS AN ABSTRACT PAINTER DREW MAINLY WORKS WITH ACRYLIC MEDIUMS ON MID TO LARGE SCALE CANVASES. HIS PASSION FOR ART HAS BEEN GREATLY MOTIVATED BY THE ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST MOVEMENT OF THE MID-TWENTIETH CENTURY. HIS VISUAL APPROACH IS INFLUENCED BY SUCH LUMINARIES AS JACKSON POLLOCK, WILLEM DE KOONING, JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTERS SUCH AS GEORG BASELITZ AND GERHARD RICHTER.

DREW APPROACHES HIS ARTWORK IN A BOLD, SPONTANEOUS MANNER USING ROBUST BRUSH STROKES AND EXPRESSIVE, EXTEMPORANEOUS MARK MAKING. THIS RESULTS IN AN IMPROVISATIONAL PROCESS WHICH GIVES HIS WORK A SENSE OF EMOTION AND EXPRESSIVE RHYTHM.

DREW CURRENTLY LIVES IN CALGARY, ALBERTA AND HAS SOLD PIECES TO COLLECTORS IN BOTH CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.
