Bryan Lewis Saunders

Bryan Lewis Saunders is an American artist and performer known primarily for his ongoing project of self-portraiture — hundreds of self-portraits drawn or painted while under the influence of different drugs, creating a systematic phenomenological record. His performances involve extreme vocal and physical endurance. He has released recordings documenting these performances and has exhibited his visual work internationally. His practice sits at the intersection of conceptual art, body art, and outsider aesthetics, approaching self-documentation as both scientific experiment and performance event.
