About the artist

Blanck depicts an idyllic world of vibrant colors, where time is suspended and the characters are enveloped in beauty and tenderness. Employing a distinctly personal technique, Blanck layers painted paper over watercolor onto stretched Japanese paper. While the collage watercolor assemblages make up a large part of his body of work, Blanck has begun to explore more recently with oils on canvas. Working from photographs, he has tasked himself to make a painting a day which compels him to work quickly and intuitively, resulting in a process that embraces unanticipated developments.

Born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1976, Blanck received a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design. He was selected as Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome, in 2001, and since that time has had extensive solo exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. Blanck’s work has been written about in New York Magazine, The New Yorker, Art Forum, Paper Magazine, and The New York Art World. Blanck lives and works in New York City.
