Blunk Space is proud to present 100 Candleholders, the second iteration of our ‘100’ series, inspired by JB Blunk's 1981 exhibition 100 Plates Plus, in which he playfully pushed the boundaries of one of his most prolific forms, both visually and in terms of functionality. This group exhibition will feature over 100 esteemed artists from around the world, each responding to the same brief: to create a candleholder of any material inspired by JB Blunk’s work or the Blunk House.

January 17–March 28, 2026

Opening reception: January 17, 3–5pm

For our inaugural booth at FOG FOCUS, Blunk Space presents a group exhibition that connects the work of living artists with the legacy of the pioneering Northern California artist JB Blunk (1926–2002). Ten new handmade salvaged wood chairs and stools by Rio Kobayashi are shown alongside historic paintings by Blunk’s peers, Richard Bowman (1918–2001), Fritz Rauh (1920–2011), and John Anderson (1932–2011). This conversation is expanded through thirteen candleholders from our concurrent 100 Candleholders exhibition, including works by Maryam Yousif, Julian Watts, and Carolina Jiménez.
