Jon Buck’s work takes inspiration from a wide range of historical and contemporary scientific and anthropological sources. In Buck's most recent important exhibition across both Pangolin galleries many of his new works explored primary patterns derived from the natural world. They embellish the surfaces of containers, receptacles and arks with the implied need for the preservation of the great biodiversity that is life.

'Ark: High and Dry' was the largest work in this exhibition standing at nearly four metres long and weighing 3.2 tonnes. It is currently on exhibition at Kings Place by the canal side in the heart of London and this beautiful maquette carries all the intricacy and power of message but on a more domestic scale.

Jon Buck’s influences have been many but central to his work has always been his interest in mankind’s connection to the natural world. In art he has always believed in some sort of visual 'lingua franca' and has been fascinated with art outside the Western tradition, in particular African sculpture. In addition, the art of prehistory, outsider art and the drawings of children have all affected his way of thinking about making art. Jon Buck studied at Nottingham and Manchester Art Schools. He has completed numerous public commissions and has exhibited widely. He lives and works in Bath and is represented by Pangolin.
