About the Item
John Baker’s “In the Sea” is a 47.75 x 29.5 x 1.5 inch acrylic painting with collage on canvas that is an expressive depiction of men and women in the ocean. The freely brushed blue and white gestures of paint effectively depict the splash and energy of the surf that envelopes the figures. The quilt-like mix of surface textures gives a pleasing and energetic variety yet are carefully harmonized together. The closeness of the figures to one another in the composition gives a sense that the men and women are enjoying a collective experience. 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.
