Brian Baker's larger than life scale painting, beholden their viewer access, to assorted dreams and waking visions, the artist experienced as inspiration for his works. His personal narrative is informed by many of the subjects found in the antiquity of art history, especially the mythology expressed by far eastern mysticism. Additionally, the painter's unique style and experimental use of mixed media, have roots of influence in the schools of Surrealism and Fantastic Realism, especially Salvador Dali and Ernst Fuchs. Art is a visionary language for Brian, whose message of healing goes beyond his paintings and extends into a life spent encouraging, and even spiritually counseling, less experienced artists to do their best work. Though predominantly a self-taught creative, Baker has close ties to the Baltimore Maryland Institute of Art and its surrounding arts district. More of Brian's transcendent imagery can be seen at SOULFORMS.COM
