His penchant for ornate background patterns lend his scenes a quaint appeal and false promise of innocence belied by the disconcerting situations unfolding in the foregrounds; the spaces are fraught with tension, doom and a dark sense of humour. Baker&#8217;s style bears some influence from the local graffiti\/street art scene, yet his work is in fact indicative of a quite serious studio practice. The exhibition preview (4 June, 6pm) promises new prints and paintings and savoury cake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 1em;margin-left: 0px;font-weight: inherit;font-style: italic;font-size: 11px;font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;vertical-align: baseline;background-color: transparent;line-height: 13px;padding: 0px;border: 0px initial initial\">\u2013 Shana Nys Dambrot<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11px;margin: 0px 0px 1em;vertical-align: baseline;line-height: 13px;font-style: italic;font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;background-color: transparent;text-align: center;border-width: 0px;padding: 0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 1em;margin-left: 0px;font-weight: inherit;font-style: italic;font-size: 11px;font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;vertical-align: baseline;background-color: transparent;line-height: 13px;padding: 0px;border: 0px initial initial\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-216\" href=\"http:\/\/jo-online.vsb.bc.ca\/keller\/?attachment_id=216\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jo-online.vsb.bc.ca\/blogs\/jo\/keller\/files\/2009\/09\/3481.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-222\" src=\"http:\/\/jo-online.vsb.bc.ca\/blogs\/jo\/keller\/files\/2009\/09\/3481-195x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jo-online.vsb.bc.ca\/blogs\/jo\/keller\/files\/2009\/09\/346.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-215\" src=\"http:\/\/jo-online.vsb.bc.ca\/blogs\/jo\/keller\/files\/2009\/09\/346-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jo-online.vsb.bc.ca\/blogs\/jo\/keller\/files\/2009\/09\/charmingb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-205\" src=\"http:\/\/jo-online.vsb.bc.ca\/blogs\/jo\/keller\/files\/2009\/09\/charmingb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"530\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jo-online.vsb.bc.ca\/blogs\/jo\/keller\/files\/2009\/09\/bird_giclee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-217\" src=\"http:\/\/jo-online.vsb.bc.ca\/blogs\/jo\/keller\/files\/2009\/09\/bird_giclee-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charming Baker\u2019s show \u201cThe Meaning of Everything\u201d at The Gallery on Redchurch Street.
