Jim Skull’s Contemporary Twist to Skull Art

Inspired by personal experiences, a mix of cultures, rituals, and traveling the world, artist Jim Skull creates elaborate woven skull sculptures. He likes to be referred to as Jim Skull as a reflection of his interest in skulls; a symbol that he has been working with since the 1980s. He is currently living in France where he creates beautifully crafted sculptures out of rope, Papier-mâché, and other natural materials. He was born in New Caledonia and there's no doubt that the influences of the tribal arts from Oceania, Africa, and North America are evident within his technique.
