Saul Fletcher is a contemporary artist and photographer. Some of his pictures are painted photographs and some of them, on opposite, photographed paintings.
His works evoke strong emotions, more often sadness, sometimes it’s romantic, weird, sometimes unconventional in whimsical way, or even wild and eccentric.
His early work was staged saturated enigmatic personal mythology that resulted in highly distinctive sometimes even lurid photographs, like this picture of a seated hunchback (self-portrait).

However, most of his recent painting-based photographs give an impression of unstructured impulsiveness. Mark making is aggressive and chaotic with a hint of childlike expressiveness. The meaning of those works is ambiguous and their obscurity is a big component of their magical magnetism.
