NYAB Event - Charming Baker "Stupid Has A New Hero"

Charming Baker "Stupid Has A New Hero"

NY Studio Gallery

This event has ended.

"Stupid Has a New Hero," features brand new paintings, a suite of limited edition prints plus a few surprises from fast-rising British painter Charming Baker. A graduate of Central St Martins in London, Charming Baker has established a loyal international following with his darkly humorous work- oil paintings with a mix of beauty and brutality. Equally comfortable applying a paintbrush as he is a bullet to his work (as seen in the Youtube video documenting the shooting of one of his paintings) the artist is influenced by a wide array of both familiar and odd elements.

“The effect I’m aiming for in my work,” says Charming, “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.”
