David Shull’s practice spans sculpture, painting, collage, assemblage, video, and music, addressing complex themes such as mortality, inequality, sexuality, sentimentality, conflict, and social confinement.

Each piece functions as a cumulative statement, where materials, form, and narrative coalesce to create intricate, contemplative works. Through this tension between vulnerability and strength, Shull’s art offers insights into the human experience, revealing subtle connections between history, identity, and contemporary social commentary. ...
