About
John Baker’s “The Ego and the Id” is an imaginary portrait, acrylic on canvas with collage 15 x 10 x 1.5 inches in flesh tones, greys and tans with red highlights. The painting’s title is borrowed from Sigmund Freud’s famous 1923 book; but the viewer is left to decide which half of the divided image represents the id and which the ego. 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.
