He has been a long-standing OUTPOST member, and will be presenting his solo show ‘Mirrom’ at OUTPOST in March 2010. Bakers’ paintings occupy playful territory using loose, abstract, painterly marks to construct comical references. Although his paintings work with the notion of silliness, their construction is far from it. His paintings are meticulously and carefully considered, involving a more laborious process than they perhaps suggest. Baker describes his work as ‘a practice of resistance’; the work that leaves the studio is that which resists his attempts to practice.
