Artwork description

His work often romanticizes or demonizes ambiguous characters that are cast as heroes, villains, underdogs, lovers, and friends. This combination lends his large-scale oil paintings a personal element that provokes an emotional response with the viewer. Devastatingly beautiful characters lay flush against white canvases, a signature aspect of his work that brings drama to the world in which his muses exist. Drew Merritt creates work that drops his audience in a fantastical world where light and darkness coexist seamlessly, inviting guests to immerse themselves completely.
