Richard Baker: New Paintings Exhibition

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.
