JB Blunk, Sculptor, Ceramicist 1926-2003
JB Blunk is closely associated with the group of Northern California
artists influenced by surrealist Gordon Onslow Ford. Introduced to Isamu
Noguchi while in Japan, Blunk became good friends with Noguchi and
later other artists Jean Tinguely and Lee Mullican. J.B. Blunk studied
ceramics and then turned to sculpture after moving to Inverness in
Northern California. Drawing from Eastern influences, is sculptures
often straddle the line between functional and natural inspiration.
Because of his exquisite craftsmanship in wood working, he is often
compared to other California artists Arthur Espenet, Sam Maloof, and
John Stocksdale.
