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 influence of 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.

"On the Beach", Contemporary Portrait, Dark, Brown, Collage, Acrylic Painting
By John Baker
Located in Franklin, MA
John Baker’s “On the Beach”, an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 68 x 46 x 1.5 inches in lavenders, maroons and Van Dyck browns, depicts a couple together in fantastic costumes as they brave a dark world. Conjoined as bodies, they form a powerful dyad of selves expressing triumph rather than mere forbearance. Their thoughts and feelings, brilliant flashes of light lavender and yellow above and between their heads, are like insights and interpersonal connections illuminating the darkness. The painting’s title and meaning allude to Neville Shute’s On the Beach and, subliminally, to Matthew Arnold...

Leaving the Sea Behind, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas
By John Barney
Located in Yardley, PA
This is a continuation of my "Contemplation" series - which explores my fascination with people who are "working something out." We're all flawed people - and ultimately we are all searching for our own place of peace. Perhaps this woman's solace was the ocean...maybe she doesn't need it anymore, or perhaps more than ever. This will make a fantastic centerpiece for your living or work space. It has 1.5 inch sides painted gray - it'll blend well in almost any room. It was created with a palette knife - so texture is evident. The scraping of the knife and the blending of color give it its character. These paintings "pop" - they are not shy - explore your mind with a JB painting...
