Please join for another Final Friday Art Show - January 29th from 5-8 pm.

 

David Baker uses muted and desaturated colors to convey the raw shape and form of an object. He stated, “The more I used color to describe form in space, I realized how much color and value are in opposition.”Baker’s paintings explore this conflict between color, value, form, and space.  When he paints landscapes he seeks to reduce observations into ambiguity; reorganizing abstract shapes of value and color to fit a compositional backbone.  
 
Baker received his BFA in painting/drawing from The Ohio State University in 2003 and currently teaches.
