Who is Jarred Baker?
Jarred Baker is an artist born and raised in South Africa. He uses mixed media to highlight different cultures, issues, people, and ways of life.
Each work contains a message—one derived from the subject matter and another that he hopes the viewer will take away from experiencing the piece.
Jarred’s primary media are charcoal and graphite pencil, which allow him to create a striking contrast in his work, often emphasizing emotions that are difficult to pinpoint. He explores themes of both internal and external oppression and delves into the idea of liberating oneself from such forces. One could say his work serves as an ode to living well.
