About the Item
John Baker’s “Light of my Life” is a 58 x 45 inch acrylic painting on canvas with collage in harmonized sky blues, yellow greens and radiant whites with passages of rose and lavender. The upper half of the composition depicts the merger of the monumental female figure’s spirit with the pastoral environment that surrounds her head; she is of the forest and also creates the forest with her imagination. In the lower half of the composition a white radiance dominates: she is giving birth to light itself! 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.
