About the Item
John Baker’s Southern Belle II, a 41.5 x 29 x 1.5 inch acrylic painting on canvas with collage, is from the artist’s “Socialite” series. Painted in pastel pinks and blues, flesh tones and sharp yellows, Southern Belle II depicts two sides of an imaginary lady’s personality, aloof debutante and ultra casual bohemian. The utter clash in clothing styles on either side of the painting’s center line dramatizes her incoherence of selves but which is the inner self and which the outer is left for the viewer to decide. 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.

- "Young Man with a Device", acrylic, mixed media, collage, painting, technologyBy John BakerLocated in Natick, MAJohn Baker’s “Young Man with a Device” is a 19 x 15 x 1.5 inch acrylic painting with collage on canvas depicting a youth possessively clutching a technological device. The large, dark device is an ominous presence that contrasts dramatically with the pastel pinks, yellows and russets of his face and garments, a contrast echoed in the divided background, which is half light half dark. The young man grasps the device with a tension, even a desperation that belies the serenity of his facial expression. The sides are unpainted and the painting is signed and dated on the reverse. The painting is housed in a vintage, gilded Arts and Crafts style frame...Category
