About the Item

John Baker’s “Multiple Personality Disorder” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage and custom frame 28 x 26.5 x 4 inches in greys, blacks, whites and flesh tones. Outer and inner pieces of self fan across the center of the composition like a hand of playing cards. The painting suggests that multiple personality disorder is perhaps not so totally advantageous and without liabilities as those who employ or resort to it as a strategy or irrational inclination would have it. The painting, which is actually a painting/sculpture combination, 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.
