SL Baker
Japan, Abstract Expressionist and Social Commentary by Female Artist

2011

About the Item

JAPAN is a 30 x 24 inches, acrylic on canvas social commentary and abstract painting by American, female artist SL Baker. The devastating Tohoku earthquake in 2011 generated JAPAN. Its torn and scratched paint and canvas are intentional. It seems the anguish of helplessness. Signed "SLB" front lower right and framed in a floater frame. This artwork includes a certificate of authenticity issued by the artist. The images that appear on SL Baker's canvases are a confluence of mindfulness studies and social concern. Working mostly in acrylic and without the use of brushes, Baker paints with her hands. The paintings reference a world view and give a nod to Buddhist practice. The work seems a spiritual query. Her paintings are exhibited in solo, group, and juried shows throughout the Northeastern United States. SL Baker was born in Princeton, NJ and has been a life-long resident of the local NJ and PA area. She was a public school educator for thirty years and has been a self-employed artist for two decades. Baker is also a published poet and lyricist.
