  • The current show at Zhulong Gallery is not something that I’d typically write about; I rarely write about painting (I tend to focus on media-based and performance work).

Jimmy Baker’s work fuses art historical conventions with the digital age. Baker creates modern landscapes and portraits by inverting custom and using unusual subjects. His sculptures use found objects in combination with video and sound. His use of resin over oil gives his landscape paintings a thick veil through which they must be viewed. Traditional oval portraits pit history against modern culture, as tradition and subject collide in the dark frames. Baker pushes even further by combining iPods and cell phone footage with more traditional mediums. Baker’s desolate, icy landscapes may leave viewers with a chill as his work often serenely depicts war, loneliness and loss.
