SL Baker
City Day, Architectural Abstract and Cityscape by American Female Artist

2012

About the Item

City Day is a 48 x 36 inches, acrylic on canvas cityscape and architectural abstract painting by American, female artist SL Baker. City Day, by SL Baker, is a view from above as in passing the city on bridges, from an apartment or glimpses from the Palisades. "The island of Manhattan gathers light like no other. The rays and shadows provoke an announcement of something. After looking through a series of photos from childhood, the paintings City Day and City Night arrived on my canvases. Memories of car and train rides from New Jersey to the city focus on the thrill of expectant possibilities. The city's approach still conjures great expectations. These paintings offer a remark of that familiar charge and a gesture toward probing inner goodness and darkness." Signed "SLB" front lower right. This artwork includes a certificate of authenticity issued by the artist. The images that appear on SL Baker's canvases are a confluence of mindfulness studies and social concern. Working mostly in acrylic and without the use of brushes, Baker paints with her hands. The paintings reference a world view and give a nod to Buddhist practice. The work seems a spiritual query. Her paintings are exhibited in solo, group, and juried shows throughout the Northeastern United States. SL Baker was born in Princeton, NJ and has been a life-long resident of the local NJ and PA area. She was a public school educator for thirty years and has been a self-employed artist for two decades. Baker is also a published poet and lyricist.

  • Landscapes of the Soul and of the Mind XV , Abstract Expressionist Landscape
    Located in Doylestown, PA
    "Landscapes of the Soul and of the Mind XV " is a 40 x 40 inches, original, abstract landscape by American master colorist painter Al Lachman. The artwork is a gallery wrapped canvas, signed "Lachman" in the lower left. It is part of the artist's series "Landscapes of the Soul and of the Mind". The artist puts his thumb upon the pulse of life and records it. In that mystical beat lies the unknown, and he would but make it known. Being both, innovator and spectator, he exists as an intrinsic part of that rhythm. Each painting begins with a premise, and I rarely use the same one twice. It is based on what I see and what I am feeling at that moment. I do not think that painting is about technique. It is about a particular perception of the world around us. The premise creates the periphery of my intent. It is a limitation that gives birth to the creative forces within. - Al Lachman Born in 1936 in the Bronx, NY, Alan Lachman...

  • Landscapes of the Soul and of the Mind XIX , Abstract Expressionist Landscape
    Located in Doylestown, PA
    "Landscapes of the Soul and of the Mind XIX " is a 44 x 56 inches, original, abstract landscape by American master colorist painter Al Lachman. The artwork is a gallery wrapped canvas, signed "Lachman" in the lower center. It is part of the artist's series "Landscapes of the Soul and of the Mind". The artist puts his thumb upon the pulse of life and records it. In that mystical beat lies the unknown, and he would but make it known. Being both, innovator and spectator, he exists as an intrinsic part of that rhythm. I try to approach each painting with a minimum of predigested information. I look at the world with the natural curiosity of a child, always looking for unique qualities that each new moment brings. Talent, I believe, is found in the ability to take risks, and with that in mind, I am continually willing to risk it all every time I paint. The most exciting paintings, for me, are the ones that balance a bold fresh approach with the sensitive and subtle workings of the heart and mind. - Al Lachman Born in 1936 in the Bronx, NY, Alan Lachman...
