All Natural challenges the traditional hierarchies that divide craft and fine art. Bringing together the works of 11 women artists from different generations and continents, the exhibition highlights the influence of traditional women’s practices on abstraction and fine art. These artists offer a distinct perspective on the world. Rooted in sustainability, education, and community engagement, their work preserves and reimagines traditional techniques in an ever evolving landscape.
Richard Baker, a resident of La Quinta and Los Angeles, is an artist who is known for his recognizable and distinctive paintings that reflect upon the beautiful and leisurely qualities of the California lifestyle we cherish. Baker’s canvases offer fresh and uplifting subject matter that demonstrate a skillful handling of form, space, and composition in portraying the cultivated landscapes of Palm Springs and “Other Desert Cities.” Characterized by his interest in light, color, shadow, and geometry, Baker portrays objects, figures, and scenery in a narrative way that needs no explanation. Having less to do with the conceptual concerns of the psyche, Baker’s paintings have more to do with visual pleasures of light and color on the eye.
This exhibition, “Richard Baker: New Paintings” is his seventh one-person exhibition at Skidmore Contemporary Art since 2015 when the gallery was located in Santa Monica’s Bergamot Station. Well-known for his long and successful career as a producer in film and television, Baker balances his two demanding professions with equal passion and unique skill. His paintings are a celebration of the accessible motifs by which Baker continues to distinguish himself within the representational genre of contemporary Realism.

The InterArts Department at Idyllwild Arts is pleased to present a special collaboration between its students and UK-based interactive theatre company, Stan’s Cafe. “Of All The People in All The World” is an internationally-acclaimed performance installation that turns abstract human population statistics into emotionally gripping stories using grains of rice. The public is invited to view Idyllwild Arts iteration “Of All The People in All The World” at a Celebratory Reception on Friday, February 9 from 6 to 7.30pm, featuring InterArts students and Stan’s Café founders, James Yarker and Graeme Rose. The free event takes place at the Parks Exhibition Gallery located on Idyllwild Arts stunning campus (52500 Temecula Road #38, Idyllwild, CA). The unique exhibition will also run from February 6 – 14, 2024.
The rice is carefully measured to represent human population statistics arranged in labelled piles, creating an ever-changing landscape of rice. Their juxtapositions can be moving, shocking, celebratory, witty and thought-provoking. That’s it. This installation is that simple—and that elegantly complex. After the performance the rice will be donated to charities and recycled.
“Of All The People In All The World” has toured the world since its inception in 2003, landing at top international venues, including The Kennedy Center in Washington DC and the World Financial Center in New York, adapting to the times and contexts in which it is found.
