Nathan Baker’s work combines photography, printmaking, and painting, creating an incongruous yet mesmerizing effect. Baker’s black-and-white gradient works look collaged, but are actually created from stripping away pigment from ink-soaked fabrics using tape, sandpaper, and even his own footprints. The result is a series of stunning, pastiched works that reflect the chaos of urban society and question the process of how images are created. Working both in Berlin and Brooklyn, Baker has established an international presence.
