brian's profile
Baltimore artist Brian C Baker is a visionary painter, whose work focuses primarily on the surreal narratives of a mystical imagination. Just credits shy of aquiring a degree from Maryland Institute College of Art, Brian chose independently to pursue his own path in the fine arts as a reaction to the stifling enviornment and restrictions of certain instructors and their system of imposing control on creativity in general. Brian's work contains elements of fantastic realism, abstract expressionism, pop, montage, and many other experimental blends of technique and style. The large scale of the paintings is intended to evoke the original dream like encounters with supernatural beings experienced in pursuit of personal spiritual and creative fulfillment.
Brian, Baltimore?s Native Mystic Painter and Wild Captive of Divine Creativity maintains his Visionary canvases allow viewers to participate in Multi-dimensional Holographic Hallucinations, that are both the inspiration for and result of his paintings.
" My primary body of work is made up of dozens of larger than life scale canvases and boards painted with mixed media. Executed
in a personalized style of visionary realism, my compostions are influenced by a variety of ancient and modern art forms. Informed by
religious icons and archetypal figures from multi-cultural spiritual backgrounds, my images are inclusive of many saints, deities, and
other spirits of the sacred traditions.The theme most explored in my work is the interwoven unity of divine personalities and of the
union of souls with our maker. In my search for God, I found a complete freakshow within myself."
