Leo Saul Berk

(American, born 1973)

Leo Saul Berk's art practice examines how exceptional architecture can transform and positively shape our lives.

Berk grew up in a radically unconventional house in Illinois, designed by the American architect and painter Bruce Goff. He believes that this experience shaped him to become the artist he is today. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, in 1997, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 1999. He is based in Seattle, Western Washington.
