Vertical To Horizontal Fashion

Through his work, Charming Baker likes to explore themes of love, life, death, terror, joy and despair, accompanied by dark humour and underlying references to the classics.

In this piece, Baker uses horizontal and vertical lines to create his rainy scene.

Of Charming Baker s work, Damien Hirst has commented: “It s hard to say exactly what makes a painting great… Its flatness and depth, ease and complexity, a kind of preciousness that s also kind of throwaway, a risk factor. Who gives a damn? Charming Baker s paintings are great.”
