While these paintings rely on a rigorous intellectual process they are at the same time an expression of Baker’s deep love for the landscape. They become a conduit for his emotional response to nature. Like the great Romantic painters of the nineteenth century they convey a sense of the sublime, a feeling of awe in the presence of nature’s overwhelming grandeur. They elevate us and lift our spirits. From the everyday Baker distils a sense of poetry, drama and a belief in a dimension beyond our normal experience.

Other works are  born of direct observation, the process of looking, assimilating and setting down in an instant . Baker is used to braving the elements, confronting nature at its most extreme. A trip to Antarctica, resulted in a highly acclaimed series of paintings being exhibited in Petworth House and the Royal Academy in 2006.Other one man shows include The  Medici Gallery, Cork Street, Flying Colours Gallery, Chelsea and Moncrieff Bray Gallery, Petworth.
