​​DREW SINCLAIR / BIO

FINE ARTIST

Drew Sinclair creates an oasis in the often, unexplored psychic desert between childhood and adulthood. A place he constructs, first with a pencil, before deciding whether its walls will be built with stone, chipboard, or canvas; whether it will be painted, bare or brought to life through intricate shading. "In my private space, I can whisper, shout … create anything that I want to be real."

 

Here, there is no artifice or fear. His inner child is free to see the world clearly, simply. He uses unusual materials, experiments with multiple styles, sculpture, painting, portraiture, puppets, masks - creating while discovering. 

 

He knows technique. Graduated with a fine arts honors degree from Hertfordshire University, has only ever been an artist. But here, technique falls away. "I know a piece is done, when my eyes, heart, mind and spirit are all happy."

 

Turning outwards only when finished, the recognition he looks for, mirrors the process. That his audience purchases his art and takes it home is the practical thing. But Sinclair is satisfied by the looks on their faces. "I am filled with peace and accomplishment," he acknowledges, "when I see them smile, as their eyes just get bigger and bigger."
