Brian Jungen is a Canadian artist from British Columbia with Swiss and Dunne-za First Nations roots; he is based in Vancouver. Jungen's art draws upon the tradition of "found art," espoused by such twentieth-century artists as Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp. Instead of presenting objects "as-is," however, Jungen often reworks them without fully concealing their original meaning or purpose.
