Jon Buck

Charting over four decades of Jon Buck's career, Telltale Forms intertwines Buck’s early explorations in sculpture with his most recent works. Through his distinctive use of humour, colour, pattern, and form, Buck delves into profound universal themes - what it means to be human, our connection to nature, and the cultural narratives that both shape and define us.

Throughout his career, Jon Buck has sought to address fundamental questions about humanity’s place inthe world: “What do we feel about ourselves as human beings, about our relationship to each other, to other creatures, and to the wider environment in general?”. Buck’s work transcends the immediate visual appeal of contemporaries like Keith Haring, inviting deeper engagement through multi-layered meaning and thought-provoking themes.
