Since 1966 Elmar Drews exhibited frequently in the Northern part of Germany with one man shows and mixed exibitions.

His prefered techniques were: oil on canvas, collages and wood cuttings. The main style of his paintings and drawings are Expressionism and Surrealism.

Visitors to his exhibitions will often find a mixture of both styles in his paintings, which sometimes makes them feel a little unsure in understanding them, whether they depict human beings, landscapes or seascapes.
