About the Item

Title:"Progenitor" Artist: Derek Overfield A simple mixed-media portrait in white on natural canvas, inspired by the marble portraits of ancient Roman citizens. Above is a semi-abstract figurative work. The painting is completed with a dynamic application of latex paint and graphite. The piece is on a stretched canvas, 1.5 inches deep, wired and ready to hang. It is presented in a professional, gallery wrap style. This piece measures 25 x 30". Statement "... and around his head the fair goddess set thick a golden cloud, and forth from the man made blaze a gleaming fire... there he stood and shouted... and when they heard the brazen voice of the son of Aeacus the hearts of all were dismayed." - Homer, The Iliad My work is influenced by the classical and the romantic, the archaic and the modern - and strives for the monumental, divine and quietly brutal. Through paint and line I seek to capture the light of existence, that "gleaming fire", as well as to portray its gravity. I strive to celebrate the figure, its mysterious power and charisma. Like a purging fire, I hope to burn away the ornament, the unnecessary, in order to expose the purity beneath. :: Painting :: Minimalism :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Back lower right :: Canvas :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No

Early Life and Education: Ghazi Baker, a proponent of Neo-expressionism, was born in 1967 in the vibrant city of Beirut, Lebanon. Raised amidst the rich cultural tapestry of Lebanon, Baker's early years were influenced by the eclectic blend of history, art, and tumultuous social dynamics of the region. In 1991, Baker graduated with distinction from the esteemed American University in Beirut, earning a degree in architecture (B. Arch). This academic pursuit not only honed his technical skills but also instilled in him a profound appreciation for spatial dynamics, form, and structure—a foundation that would later shape his distinctive artistic style. Artistic Journey: Despite his architectural training, Baker felt an irresistible pull towards the realm of visual arts. Fueled by an innate passion for creativity and expression, he embarked on a transformative journey into the world of painting.

His works reflect a profound engagement with the human condition, exploring themes of identity, displacement, and the universal quest for meaning. Through his dynamic compositions and visceral imagery, Baker invites viewers to delve beneath the surface.   International Recognition: Over the years, Baker's distinctive style has garnered widespread acclaim, earning him recognition on the international stage. His works have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, captivating audiences with their raw energy and emotional resonance. From New York to Paris...
