Drew Harris is a Canadian artist currently living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. His paintings are in important collections in North America and across Asia. Drew's body of work largely consists of abstract paintings.

His paintings exist in a complex construct of tension, beauty, chaos, control and freedom; all coexisting side by side. To trace Harris's work across time is to observe his devotion to painting as an act of respect for life and a way to assimilate the constantly changing world around him.

"My paintings are about longing and the loneliness that comes with being a foreigner in a land that is not my home. During the last two years of a global pandemic, I became intensely reflective of my home country of Canada." --Drew Harris

I see structure everywhere, even in what others perceive as chaos. The most elemental beginnings of everything fascinate me and I endeavor to understand those elements; how they work together, how they complement, oppose or rely on each other, and what happens if they are broken apart. In my work, regardless of the medium. With no historic art education, I began my professional life as a tax accountant. For the better part of 25 years in the financial industry, structure guided my life. While that life consumed my creativity and time, it enabled me to explore the collecting and viewing side of art: introductions to artists and collecting their work; spending time in museums and galleries around the world; and, building my knowledge base upon which I draw from today.
