Dana L. Depew
Dana L. Depew is one of Cleveland's most prolific artists. He resurrects thrown out cast offs and found objects into wholly new and unique objects.
Dana L. Depew
Visiting Dana Depew’s labyrinthine basement-studio is a lot like wandering through an old thrift store. Hundreds of paintings, sculptures and found objects are piled high everywhere you look. Some are finished. Others stand like bits of memorabilia in a museum with no discernable theme.
One of nine children who grew up on a farm in Medina, Ohio, Depew isn't exactly a pack rat. His mother was an antiques dealer and left her vast collection to him. He's been tinkering with it ever since.
But even before that, Depew was the kind of artist who was inspired by objects of all kinds, and accordingly, he made work in a wide range of styles. Though he studied sculpture at Kent State University, he often makes paintings.
