About the Item
John Baker’s “Heavyweight Executives” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 24 x 30 inches in dark greens, deep silver greys, and flesh tones. The two executives have put on the gloves to decide an issue of dominance between them. Each is as formidable foe for the other in the ring as in the boardroom. The sides are unpainted and the painting is unframed.
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.
