About the Item
John Baker’s “Maternal Love” is a 18 x 13 ¾ x 2 ¼ inch acrylic on canvas with collage in pinks, greens and blues. The nurturing mother gently kisses her near adolescent daughter; innocence and mature awareness are combined in a composite, transgenerational physiognomy. It is framed in a 23.75 x 19.25 inch frame. The two gilded frame halves, (nearly but not exactly alike), transform the work into an assemblage that mirrors, the duality of the image itself. 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.
