Both playful and haunting, Drew Mosley’s illustrative, character-based works on wooden panels and bowls are simultaneously innocent and something more. Scenes depict the creatures and belles of Mosley’s imagined world, in which they appear frozen and in mid mission. In these moments of peril or safety, anthropomorphized beasts struggle to fend off the encroachments of their two legged foes.
Mosely works in a three-dimensional painting technique, as well as with found and fabricated sculptural materials, to achieve depth and atmosphere. Wooden bowls and thrift store finds enclose his charming and haunting scenes, which are suspended in multiple layers of resin.
