JOHN BUCK
John Buck is a celebrated American sculptor, printmaker, and educator whose career spans over five decades. After earning a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1968 and attending Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 1971, he completed an MFA in 1972 at the University of California, Davis, where he studied under renowned artists such as Robert Arneson and Manuel Neri.
Buck is best known for his intricately carved wood and bronze sculptures, monumental multicolored woodblock prints, and—more recently—kinetic mechanical sculptures that blend motion and narrative. Working primarily with soft jelutong wood, his sculptures often incorporate motors, belts, and gears, creating visually complex and dynamic works that reference political and social themes. His woodblock prints are equally layered, filled with rich iconography drawn from history, popular culture, and his dual residences in Bozeman, Montana, and Hawaii. Buck’s work has been shown widely in solo and group exhibitions across the United States, including at the Missoula Art Museum, Bellevue Arts Museum, and Hallie Ford Museum of Art. His pieces are held in prestigious public collections such as the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Art Institute of Chicago, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Seattle Art Museum. Buck divides his time between studios in Montana and Hawaii, continuing to influence contemporary sculpture and printmaking with his meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful exploration of narrative form. |
