Affectionate Masculinity

Saul Lyons is a fine artist living and creating in New York City, NY and New Hope, PA. A graduate of Pitzer College, with a degree in Creative Writing and Performance Art, he spent several years writing and working with theater companies such as The Wooster Group, Mabou Mines and Highways performance space. After finding interest in fashion, he spent over 10 years as a womenswear and fabric designer and several years teaching.

In 2015, he was inspired to express himself through painting and drawing. Creating mostly figurative art, using all he learned about color and texture in the world of fashion, he generally works in oil and acrylic for paintings and graphite for drawings. For the past two years, he has focused almost exclusively on creating works representing affectionate masculinity. In doing so, he has developed a great following and has opened a studio and gallery in New Hope, PA that shows his work and other gay artists from around the world.
