BUZZED ON NATURE, HIGH OFF RESTLESSNESS, DREW ABRAHAMSON’S MEANS OF PRODUCTION IS HIS HUNT FOR SATISFACTION IN THIS UNRELENTING MODERN LANDSCAPE. HEDONISM, THE FABULOUS, EARTH’S NATURAL WONDERS; ALL ARE REVERED AND MADE TANGIBLE IN DREW’S WORK. A RESPONSE TO THE DULLNESS OF THE GENERIC — HOBBYIST DECORATOR THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU. KNEEL AT THE ALTAR OF THE HUMAN FORM — NATURAL BEAUTY, ODD CHARACTERS AT ODDS WITH THEIR SURROUNDINGS, ALL THEY ASK IS YOU PLEASE LOVE THEM; DETEST THEM, BUT DO NOT DISREGARD THEM.

With previous experience in illustration, landscaping, sculpture and carpentry, the artist’s penchant for an adruous process and acute details find their final destination in his works. Abrahamson has presented at NGV Design Week and Craft Vic Contemporary, garnering attention from press - notably Sight Unseen's ‘Up and Coming’ and featuring in Marie Claire France.
