John Cederquist
John Carl Cederquist is an American sculptor in wood and builder of studio furniture who was born in Altadena, California. He graduated from Long Beach State College with a BA in 1969 and an MA in 1971.
Cederquist is best known for his playful, trompe-l'œil wood assemblages―often in the form of pieces of furniture―that blur the distinctions between reality and illusion. He often employs cartoon-like drawings and skewed perspectives. Since 1976, he has taught at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California.
