- Born
in Wisconsin in 1949 and a graduate of San Francisco Art Institute,
Ned Baughman has since been showing his exquisitely rendered acrylic
paintings in exhibits between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Baughman
constucts his paintings from delicate washes of primary colors that
build gradually to embody a sensitivity and maturity in tone. As he
applies one color, one texture after another, in an almost ritualistic
way it becomes the re-living and understanding of the vision. According
to the artist, the primary focus of this vision is "the frontier
of doubt and adventure, portrayed suggestively, illuminated uneasily
to give form to the uncertain border between light and disintegration,
darkness and creation". The result is an intriguing combination
of the very real and the surreal. This is Ned Baughman's second show
at La Luz de Jesus.
