About the Item
John Baker’s “Blind Surgeon” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 24 inches by 18 inches in flesh tones and light greys. Unkempt, one eye closed and the other pressed by a mysterious third hand, the surgeon whom you wouldn’t want as your own is depicted in mid-procedure. There is no doubt that his attempt must be reckless; all things are askew within the composition of this updated version of William Hogarth’s satirical engraving of doctors, “The Company of Undertakers”.
The painting is unframed and 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.
