About the Item
John Baker’s “Old Man Riding a Tricycle”, an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 44 x 36 x .75 inches in intense red, yellows and greens, is a tongue-incheek depiction of the equivalence of childhood with adulthood. Determined to regress, or totally regressed, the old man rides his trike into the viewer’s space with serious defiance, his little-boy body seamlessly continuous with his aged head and the surrounding greyness above it. 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.
