About the Item
John Baker’s “Cramming for the Exam” is an acrylic portrait painting on canvas with collage 30 inches by 30 inches in dark blues and straw yellows. Although sparks of understanding flicker and fall behind the head of the hapless student, time is too short for a full and critical comprehension of all he needs to read; hence his vacant expression and the disheveled appearance of his hair. The sides are unpainted and the painting is signed and dated on the reverse.
John Baker is a widely exhibited painter based in Boston and New York whose solo exhibitions have been favorably reviewed in the Boston Globe (his paintings demonstrate that the human figure as a source of fresh ideas still endures), Art New England (Baker’s collages raise a bunch of interesting issues) and American Art Collector (John Baker’s wonderful and worthy project). A native of New York City, Baker was a pupil of Donald Judd for two years. The sculptor’s constructivist method remains an influence on Baker’s collage process, but Baker’s artistic results are more sensual and emotional as he adds the elements of subtle color harmony and reliance on impulse. Baker is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
