About the Item

John Baker’s “Harvest” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 60 x 44 inches in deep greens, and light pinks and yellows. The sun is the dominant motif in this intricate composition of woods and fields, sky and trees. The face and immediate surrounds of the central figure scintillate with golden and silver highlights in the corridor between the slender pyramids of forest. 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.
