Drew Truslove – ‘The Courage Tree’

Michael Reid Northern Beaches is thrilled to present The Courage Tree by Drew Truslove, an exhibition that delves into the nuanced beauty of the bushland the artist calls home. “Standing on one rock or patch of grass, I draw the views from different angles around that point, providing a unique view of how truly beautiful and diverse an individual spot can be,” says the artist, describing the immersive approach through which he creates intricate, multi-perspective compositions that celebrate both the individuality and interconnectedness of the landscape. Working exclusively with black or blue ink, Truslove forgoes traditional hues to evoke the essence of his surroundings. “Rather than trying to match the hues and tones of the bush, the ink provides an impression of the landscape, revealing its beauty with one single colour,” he says. His drawings are rich with texture and density, inviting viewers to see the bush through a fresh, distilled lens.Drew Truslove Catalogue
