About the Item

John Baker’s “Studio Sketch of Valerie” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 18 x 14 inches in pinks, greys and browns. When Valerie visited my studio she at first stayed very much within herself and was obviously skeptical about the paintings. But from beneath her shyness there emerged a genuine interest in my artistic project and a real sensitivity to the work. 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.
