Werner Drews

Crisp, angular drawing and bold abstract pattern used by an artist who knows how to fuse them with his own visual experience, to disclose the essential character of his subject—in this case, landscape. To counteract the discipline of design, in his more recent prints, Werner Drews goes into the expressionistic use of clear primary color. He is not as effective with it as he is with the direct statement of black, white, and one graded color.
