Kristina Rose Baker: The Diver at The Great Park Gallery
Please join me at the opening reception of "The Diver" - at the Great Park Gallery on Sunday January 25th, from 1-3pm.
Kristina Rose Baker: The Diver presents new large-scale paintings and drawings by California-based artist Kristina Rose Baker. Drawing on over 2,500 years of art historical representations of diving, Baker re-imagines the figure in moments of suspension - between water, earth, and sky. With her distinct use of oil paint and charcoal, she captures fleeting moments between motion and stillness, presence and absence. Blending personal experiences of transformation and the ephemeral, Kristina Rose Baker: The Diver offers a visually poetic reflection on humanity's enduring relationship with water and the natural world.

Vive El Arte at She/They Gallery
I’m excited to announce that my painting Open Letter/Dimension of Justice (2020) will be displayed at She/They Gallery in Santa Ana, CA for their “Vive El Arte” exhibition.
Open Letter/Dimension of Justice is inspired by Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith Slaying Holofernes (c. 1620), one of the most dramatic paintings of the Baroque period. Gentileschi’s painting depicts the biblical story of Judith, who saves her people by beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes. What stands out in Gentileschi’s version is the unflinching physicality and realism—Judith and her maid Abra are shown mid-act, with Judith gripping Holofernes’s hair as blood sprays from his neck. Gentileschi’s portrayal is often seen as reflecting her own life experiences, including her survival of sexual assault and the public trial where she testified against her attacker. My painting draws on these themes of justice, strength, and personal liberation, offering a contemporary take on the complexity of power and what it means to confront injustice today.
The exhibition opens with the Santa Ana Art Walk on November 2nd, from 6:00-9:00pm. Please stop by if you are in Orange County!
