"QUIVER"
by Drew Young
Growing up on Vancouver Island, watching his father create architectural drawings and watercolors, Drew Young acquired an insatiable appetite for creating things. Young told @Booooooom he spent a year at Victoria College of Art "doing the regular degenerate doings one does in their late teens, i.e. misdemeanor arrests, smoking, drinking, and doing graffiti"—he now lives on the mainland in Vancouver, BC. Young says he's an "over-thinker" and his figurative work ends up sucking him into a time-consuming world of building characters and narratives, but invited by a friend to explore floral painting he has freed himself up work with big shapes of color and given himself permission to work more abstractly. In July, 2018 Young created his largest composition to date (3,000 sq ft) on W 3rd Ave for the Vancouver Mural Festival. @drewstuff/ @vanmuralfest/
