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.

Strength - Large Mixed Media Artwork
By Martina Niederhauser
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Internationally acclaimed artist Martina Niederhauser presents a new collection that offers fresh perspectives on women, delving into the realms of emotion, beauty, identity, and the intricate dynamics between their inner thoughts and outward expressions. By creating layered mixed media paintings, Niederhauser breathes new life into carefully selected papers, transforming them into enchanting works of art using gouache, acrylic, and oil paint on canvas. She seeks to share her large figurative works as a “diary written in colors” with communicative forms and conjunctive lines, expressing her personal experiences and the world she inhabits.
