Jun Kaneko began creating his Slabs and Ovals in the mid-1980s, when he was teaching at Cranbrook Academy of Art. Kaneko's technique involves the use of masking tape and colored slips.

Kaneko was born in Nagoya, Japan, where he studied painting in high school. He came to the United States in 1963 to continue those studies at Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. He studied with Peter Voulkos and Paul Soldner, earning his MFA from Claremont Graduate School. He has held teaching positions at Scripps College in Claremont, California, and the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Since 1990, he maintains an expansive workship and studio in a large warehouse in Omaha, Nebraska.
