Andy Buck



Andy Buck's furniture falls on the more sculptural side of the contemporary studio furniture movement. Whimsical color schemes mixed with forms suggestive of tribal carvings render Buck's furniture humorous and distinctive. His work brings together traditional craftsmanship with sculpted forms and richly painted surfaces. His furniture is painted with layers of milk paint, carved and sanded. He is interested in the shared relationship between craftsmanship and idea, between the medium and the message. Currently he teaches at RIT and exhibits and lectures nationally.
