About the Item
John Baker’s portrait “In One Ear and Out the Other” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 24 x 18 inches in various pinks and purples with blue and emerald green highlights. Appearing somewhat startled by the sound (or information?) entering his ear on the left of the composition, the young man’s facial expression turns to torpor on the opposite side, where the sound exits his other ear and quickly streams away to evaporation. No harm done, no knowledge gained! 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 based in Boston, MA.
