About the Item

John Baker’s “Regression and Development” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage in tans and browns with red and yellow accents. Although the painting depicts a smiling young man on the left side of his face, a younger “truer under-self” appears on the right side, while the face of the mask he holds is younger still. The older-younger theme is echoed by the 27 x 24 inch composite frame, the older segment of which is 18th Century French while the younger is Mid-Century Modern. The 24 x 20 inch 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.
