The gallery is pleased to present 'CHRIS BAKER | big pictures' May 1-29.

In his statement, Baker writes:
"Where the emotive qualities of expressionist brushwork and the spontaneity of plein-air are absent, I have conceived instead an abstraction of the visual that aligns with my own sensibilities. I want the eye to encounter a new reality. In an attempt to satisfy the necessities of painting, I am hoping to bring something non-verbal and non-visual into view."

Chris Baker lives and works in Carpinteria, CA and Sedgwick, ME.
