ARTIST STATEMENT
William Drewitx (Bill) is an emerging artist that has worked with ink for 35 years. Creating intricate pen and ink drawings since he could hold a pencil, he recently embraced his artistic ability to create photos that are a unique blend of color, light, and design.
Nature reflects the duality within each of us. Nature is chaotic and harmonious, violent and peaceful, tumultuous and still, cunning and innocent.
Humans are a part of this duality, capable of malicious acts and of benevolent kindness.
The photos of William Drewitz embody the duality of nature and humanity where chaos and harmony play together in a single photo.
How the image affects the viewer is a reflection of the inner self at that moment.
By mixing UV ink, solvents, and oils a pattern is created and then photographed digitally using macro-photography. The art was born from a desire to have a creative outlet coupled with a major life change. It shows the complexity, the beauty, the emotion, and the ever-changing flow of our lives. Bill hopes you find yourself in the experience of these pieces. Everyone sees something different and has a different emotional reaction to any given design.
