    JB Blunk

    Working primarily in wood and ceramic, JB Blunk developed a distinct style that drew upon the Japanese principle of directness as well as an unfaltering reverence for the natural world, particularly ecology and primordial landscapes. Taking forms from antiquity and mysticism and translating them instinctively through raw, salvaged materials, Blunk produced a body of work that represents an innate expression of, and conversation with, natureHis work is included in the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Arts and Design, New York; Oakland Museum of California; and M+, Hong Kong, among others.
