Drew Englander is an American painter known for his trippy paintings that exhibit everyday normalities with usual objects and situations. Taking inspiration from his daily life, Englander reinterprets these familiar moments with melted visuals on canvases.
Englander starts his painting process by drawing messy sketches on his iPad which he does with his fingers. He avoids overthinking and puts everything that he already has or that abruptly pops into his mind together to see if they work out. Once the drawing comes together, he projects it on canvases to start with penciling and detailing, getting it ready for the actual painting process.
The primary subjects of Englander’s fluid paintings are the things that he is surrounded with and that he uses frequently. He is equally drawn to portraying the spaces he exists in as well, and each time he goes after a different, twisted perspective to express them. He externalizes how these common things appear in his mind depending on his mood, the angle he looks at, or simply how he recalls them.
Englander states that drawing was a permanent part of his life since he was a kid. Although he was exposed to other forms of art, he always had the tendency to express himself through drawing. Painting is relatively new to him, as he has been doing it for the last five years and felt closer to the practice as he kept on creating.
While in art school, Englander began producing electronic music. Using samples of his singing voice with synths and drum machines, he published noise pop songs online under his alias ‘Real Magic’. The artist still experiments with music, creating experimental dream pop demos.
Drew Englander is currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York, where he practices his visual art, as well as his music projects. He is represented by Plan X Gallery (Italy) and Woaw Gallery (Hong Kong, China).
