About the Item
John Baker’s “Sanctuary Morning” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 63 x 51 x 1.5 inches pervaded by the many different greens of a New England Forest in early spring. Shadowy blues and sunlight yellows enrich the naturalism of the scene. The identity of passion and nature in the painting gives a meta-sensual quality to the figure group, which seems at first to consist of four figures but might also be read as two figures shown at different points in time. 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.
