Eva Drewett was born in Warsaw in 1957. She came to England in 1979 and studied at Chelsea School of Art, London (1982-83), the Central School of Art and Design (1983-87) and the Royal College of Art (1987-89).

The forms she finds within apparently limited means are confrontational, sometimes terrifying, and with a presence that cannot be ignored. Whilst delving into mankind's collective psyche, she explores the form of the head or torso with astonishing skill and an uncanny insight into human frailty.
Drewett is at the dawn of her career, but has already had solo exhibitions in Britain and has undertaken a commission for the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club at Kowloon Sculpture Park.
