About the Item
John Baker’s “Layers of the Self” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 32 x 20 inches in greys, blacks and whites, with flesh tones. Although quite young, the gentleman has already learned how to get by in the world of the establishment: by wearing a mask that is so peculiar that his true intentions and personality become totally opaque. No doubt, for the gentleman, this is the desired outcome. The painting is signed and dated on the reverse and the sides are unpainted.
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.
