Chris Drury

Rating:
Summary: Unfair comparison
Review: After discovering Andy Goldworthy I wanted to go deeper into his kind of soulful art, his unique way of uncovering beauty where others don't see anything else but what's there. I really felt touched by his book and his communion with nature. Looking to explore further into this new vision, I came across Chris Drury. In your book reviews you compare him to Andy Goldworthy and somebody even calls him more soulful. When I got Chris Drury's book, I was disappointed, almost cheated. No doubt Chris Drury is a capable craftsman, but it's unfair to compare the two artists. Chris Drury's art doesn't even come close to reaching the depths Andy Goldworthy's does. Chris Drury utilizes nature for his art, whereas Andy Goldworthy blends with nature and together they do art.

Summary: Beautiful, mystical, natural, quietly profound art.
Review: This book is an inspriation. Drury has a strong and quiet way of finding the primative symbols of early art and revealing them to the modern eye. He is a breath of fresh air. Much like Andy Goldsworthy but with a depth of spirit that reaches deeper.
