Recently, I have been interested in car culture in my painting. Kristin Baker compellingly depicts the sublimity of NASCAR racing. I am intrigued by her subject matter, and the way she loosely yet graphically handles the paint. Her work recalls of abstract expressionism's bold gestures, meets movement and speed of the futurists. Baker captures pictorial drama in the colorful space she creates, magnifying the danger and sensationalism of popular entertainment.
