Saul Shukman

Saul is a self-taught artist driven by a desire to build worlds where time, memory, and meaning collide. His work draws on spirituality, mythology, lived experiences, and the concepts of gravity and time to explore and juxtapose the tension between opposing elements—stillness and motion, permanence and decay, the sacred and the absurd, innocence and violence.

Born in England but raised in the folk art hub of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Saul’s work is deeply influenced by his upbringing. Rooted in visual storytelling, Saul’s practice reflects his background in archaeology, his love of the fantastical and surreal, and a zen-centric upbringing that left plenty of room for spiritual ambiguity.
