About the Item
John Baker’s “Rush Hour Tryst” is an acrylic painting on canvas with college 40 x 30 inches in reds and blues with multi-color details. The painting depicts a chance meeting of strangers on a New York subway platform. Close to one another in the rush hour crush, the two have an opportunity to interact. In this case the interaction contains an innuendo that has a potent and magical effect on the gentleman transforming him into a time traveler back to his youth (as is visible in his old-but-also-young face). 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.
