John Baker
"Tough Times", collage, portrait, mauves, cream, red, pink, mixed media painting

2023

About the Item

John Baker’s “Tough Times” is an ink, acrylic, oil and collage portrait on canvas 16 x 12 inches in dark mauves and cream whites with red and pink accents. The artist addresses spiritual confinement; through a tangle of hands binding the head and face a powerful sense of self-imprisonment is expressed. 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.
