John Cederquist is a woodworker in San Juan Capistrano, CA, who references traditional forms but uses surface painting to create optical effects. Because his surface painting explores perspective and depth, his works appears to be 3-dimensional. His imagery is heavily influenced by contemporary culture: comic strips, television, advertising, and other graphic imagery as well as traditional Japanese woodblock prints. His work references to OP and POP art as well as cubism. He received his B.A. and M.A. from California State University, Long Beach. His work can be found in the Museum of Arts and Design, Craft and Folk Art Museum, Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Mint Museum of Craft and Design, among others.
