Ben Blanc
AmericanBen Blanc is an American born artist and designer. Blanc explores these two disparate and yet often related disciplines through an artistic insistence on collecting and translating materials, techniques and ideas into universal explorations. Using geometric forms to translate ideas into physical space, Blanc creates complex structures that exist to challenge concepts of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional space. Moments are flattened, while space is expanded and transformed. What results are works that demand a visual engagement that employs the viewers’ own physical presences.
Blanc’s works have been exhibited at the Musee Des Arts et Métiers in Paris; the Salone Internazionale de Mobile in Milan, Italy; Edith Gallery in Kohn, Germany; the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York; Ohio Museum of Craft; and most recently at the Design Museum Triennale di Milano. Ben Blanc received his MFA with Honors from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence in 2004.
