ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My primary medium at the present time is pencil on paper, with a small percentage of India ink drawings. These drawings are additionally scanned and areas from multiple drawings are combined to create new compiled images and clarify my vision. I try to have a direction and intent in my artwork, but always solve by inspection – compiling images is a method I am currently using to concentrate the image properties for inspection. I have painted a few canvases in the past few months and intend to spend much more of my time painting in the months to come.
Throughout the past year I have also been working on color/photographic images that are meant to touch threads of perception, emotion, and recollection that are present in all people.
Most recently I have received Fiscal Sponsorship from the New York Foundation for the Arts for my “Idea Enhancement” project. This project will explore the use of visual imagery to promote innovative and creative thought, and is intended as a practical means of stimulating new ideas and solutions. The images will be designed to both provide an environment for contemplative thought and supply the visual materials needed to spark creative ideas. At the project’s completion; free image files will be made available. See my website for current exhibit information.
Note on pricing: Prints are priced by size and material – for example; Balancing act printed at 24” x 30” on canvas and gallery wrapped on 3/4” stretcher bars would be $250, while an 8” x 10” print on fine art paper would be $20. Prints of many of my images are also available through Fine Art America. (http://fineartamerica.com/shop/doug-baird.html) Please contact me for prices of original paintings and drawings.
