About the Item
John Baker’s “A Good Scratch” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 20 x 20 x 1.5 inches in royal blues, golden yellows and flesh tones. Part of the modernist and post-modernist tradition that rejects the search for significant subject matter, the painting is a deliberate indulgence in the seemingly mundane and trivial. But the great success with which the moment is captured and the extreme absurdity of the depiction make for a compelling image whose intensity is very engaging. 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.
