Cure the Blind

THE FEARS AHEAD BECOME THE WORRIES TO LEAVE BEHIND

Charming Baker‘s paintings are beautifully composed and bring forth a fantastic sense of both familiarity and unease.  He uses oil on a variety of materials which provide an interesting, textural basis for his work and compliment his painting style and impeccable eye for editing.

From an interview on artasty: “I like it when something’s not quite right,” he explains. “I like to take people along a path which leads to a place they don’t expect to be. They might discover a personal or political subtext, they might simply enjoy the view. The effect I’m aiming for in my work is that slightly unnerving feeling you get when you have your arse patted in public, but you’re not exactly sure who’s patting it.”
