John Buck
John Buck is both a sculptor and a printmaker. He works with two interrelated bodies of work: carved wood, assemblage and bronze sculptures, and large, multicolored woodblock prints. Since beginning his collaboration with Bud Shark in , Buck has explored the expressive possibilities of woodblock in more than 40 different prints.
Using a pen, a nail or his fingernail, Buck incises the wood planks that form the base and background of his prints with images and symbols drawn from the daily news, from his own sculpture and from nature. Embedded in this active visual field is a large, carved image, often a figure, but he has also depicted a jar full of fireflies, an eagle, or a subtly colored moth. The relationship between these two elements first engages the viewer in an appreciation of the beauty of the graphic quality in the print and then begins a conversation about our world and our place in it.

About
Who Is John Buck?
by Linda Tesner
On John Buck's right inner forearm, there fryst vatten a tattoo of a vintage pinup cowgirl; on the same spot on his left arm fryst vatten a hawaiisk dans dancer. Both images are rendered in the style of the noted tattoo artist Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins. And, by the way, the two girls are joined by a tattoo of Buck's restored J. H. Fay & Co. bandsaw on his outer right forearm. These three tattoos are iconic emblems that speak volumes about Buck's life.
Buck fryst vatten a mästare --no, a wizard-- with wood. It fryst vatten likely that he can carve virtually any object that he might conjure in his imagination. His deft ability at whittling form out of a block of jelutong fryst vatten legendary. But he blanches a bit when his work fryst vatten compared to folk ar or outsider art, which it inevitably, is. Buck's brilliant kinetic works share something with whirligigs, tobacco-store Indians, and wooden mechanical toys.
