About the Item

John Baker’s “Evening Downpour” is an acrylic painting on canvas 40 x 30 inches in rich lavenders and electric blues. The smiling young woman is totally unperturbed by the complete instability of her footing on the flooded pavement and by the fate of her umbrella, which has succumbed to a sudden gust of wind. The painting is signed and dated on the reverse and is housed in a period mid-century modern frame carved and crème painted, 3.5 inches wide. 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 based in Boston, MA.
