Christopher Baker – ’Midnight Sun’

th
th
26 September – 14 October
Baker was educated at Kingham Hill
School. He trained at West Surrey
College of Art and Design and at the
University of Exeter, and has been
the recipient of several awards and
scholarships including a Royal Academy
Landscape Scholarship and an Arts
Council Grant.
He has exhibited extensively in the
UK and Canada. His early work
has been very much influenced by
Ushuaia Christopher Baker Constable, while his later works,
of predominantly landscape subjects, are in the modern impressionist or
abstract style, showing the influence of previous British landscape painters
who eschewed solid objects and detail in favour of expressing the spiritual
elements of their subjects, such as Turner. OSG is very excited to be showing
Christopher’s work for the first time this September.

th
Inspired by desert planes and bustling
savannahs and all their wonderful
creatures, on her travels to India, Africa,
Oman and the UAE, Michelle has given
substance to her ideas born in the silence
of these landscapes and the solitude of
the wilderness. She chooses subjects that
are powerful and challenging but her
affinity with them is always paramount.

Her honest approach and draftsmanship is
apparent in each cast bronze and faith-
fully executed drawing, achieving greater
perception into their individual
characteristics.

OSG is thrilled to be presenting Michelle’s
work again following her fantastic 2020
exhibition ‘Reigning Cats and Dogs’. Caracal Michelle Pearson-Cooper
