‘Monsoon, Mausam’- Solo exhibition by Claire Baker
26th June – 9th August 2025
Preview: 26th June | 6:00PM to 9:00PM, India Standard Time
Claire’s Exhibition features the last two monsoon cycles that she painted out in the open at a single rural location in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra. Before the Western Ghats, she followed the monsoon cycles of New Mexico for 3 years. The idea behind the viewers encountering Baker’s paintings immersed in the season’s rains, add a deeper layer to the art’s poetic reflection of the shifting nature of weather that is brought about by the onset and retreat of monsoons. Baker’s painting as drawing, painting through drawing, painting out of drawing—comes from durational experiences of change, sensation, and connection.
Claire Baker (b. 1983 Berkeley, CA) draws and paints directly from her body, experiencing being with and of earth. She is also a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Artist Grant and a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Grant. Baker’s work has been featured in solo exhibitions at Lowell Ryan Projects, Los Angeles, CA; Moskowitz Bayse, Los Angeles, CA;Edward Cella Art and Architecture, Los Angeles, CA. Her work is included in the collection of the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, and has been reviewed and discussed in the Los Angeles Times, Artforum, Artspace, and ArtScene. Baker completed her MFA at University of California, Los Angeles and BA in Visual Art at Brown University, RI. Claire Baker lives and works in Los Angeles and Mumbai at present.
