Aaron Blendowski
Aaron Blendowski received a BFA from College for Creative Studies and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. At his studio in Detroit’s Eastern Market, he produces work that ranges from functional sculpture and furniture to two-dimensional graphics. The growth and diversity of his city informs larger existential questions raised in his work. Blendowski utilizes his training as a sculptor and an industrial designer to experiment with materials, sometimes focusing on their purity and sometimes transforming them as far as he can from their original state. Blendowski has shown work with Cranbrook Art Museum (Bloomfield Hills, MI), Atlanta Contemporary (Atlanta, GA), In Good Company (Brooklyn, NY), Reyes | Finn (Detroit, MI), Wasserman Projects (Detroit, MI) and Superhouse (New York, NY). Most recently the artist participated in Idea House 3 at the Walker Art Center. His work has been featured in numerous publications, including Damn, Design Milk, Document Journal, Elle Decor Italia, Interior Design, Paper, and Sight Unseen. Blendowski lives and works in Detroit, Michigan.
