Leonardo Drew: Ubiquity II: South London Gallery, UK

Galerie Lelong is pleased to announce that a solo exhibition by Leonardo Drew, Ubiquity II, is now on view at South London Gallery, UK, through September 7, 2025. This marks Drew’s first solo exhibition in a London institution.

Leonardo Drew has taken over the SLG’s main gallery with a new immersive sculptural installation. Known for his explosive sculptural works, he creates reflective abstract pieces that play on the tension between order and chaos. Transforming and eroding materials by hand in the studio, he explores the cyclical nature of life and decay.

Drew’s process is meditative and involves repetitive labour to create sculptures and large-scale installations. He says: “My work and my life are not separate. They are the same thing”. “I don’t work with found objects because there is already a history embedded in that material,” he explains. “For me, I need to go through the rigours of touching it, living it, ….become the weather.”

Drew refrains from attaching specific meaning to each work, preferring to title pieces numerically so the viewer can engage directly with the installation and discover a multitude of experiences within it.
