Vancouver-based painter Drew Young has several new paintings from his In or Wake show at Thinkspace gallery. Drew's paintings are 'Spontaneous in some parts and carefully designed in others.' The result, he says, 'is sporadic abstraction paired with hyper-realism.'  

Drew Young's work currently focuses on lost and found adolescence. He believes we live in a world that is self-indulgent in primal behavior and lost in a wilderness of forgotten morality and values. The Vancouver, BC-based Young's images strongly reflect our own life experiences of these dark and visceral moments and places. If anything, he's giving us an external view of our own slef-gratifying exploits.
