Over the first weekend in May 2012 I will be having an exhibition of paintings and drawings in the ArtSpace at Cambridge Artworks, Greens Road, Cambridge. It will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday 5 & 6 May. I will be showing recent work plus older items that haven't been exhibited before, and all work will be for sale. These are some of the items that will be included (most probably):

Biographical Note:

Richard Baker has painted and exhibited since his early years in Portsmouth and Southsea, and has lived in Cambridge since the '70s. He has frequently participated in one-man and group exhibitions both locally and further afield.

He works in traditional media such as watercolour, oil and pastel, and his subject-matter includes street scenes and architecture, musicians, portraits and nudes. The last couple of years has seen him return to painting flower pieces and other still-lifes from the natural world.

He has had many exhibitions over the years, notably at the Linda Blackstone Gallery (since 2001), the Bow House Gallery (from 1991 for several years) the Whittlesford Gallery, and the Cambridge Drawing Society (since 1983) - see this link for a list, and here for a couple of past reviews. He has occasionally been included in exhibitions at the Mall Gallery, and in 1998 his drawings were extensively featured in the book Figure Sketching School (Readers’ Digest/Quarto Publishing). For several years running, Linda Blackstone has shown Richard's work in her own gallery and in Art Fairs such as the London Affordable Art Fair.
