John Baker
"Old Man Winter", acrylic, collage, tans, blue, greys, mixed media, painting

2020-2022

About the Item

John Baker’s “Old Man Winter” is a 16 x 12 inch acrylic painting on canvas with collage in tans and blue greys. The weather-beaten face of the wizened old man is made of landscape elements: intimations of cliffs and ocean represent his facial features and simultaneously suggest the forces of nature that, over time, have wrought their consequences on the battered, wind blown visage. 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.
