Naves paints thin and elegantly hard edge, keeping his lively images on
the surface, Baker goes thick and clotty, creating small-scale blocks
of abstraction, seemingly squeezed directly from the tube. Baker's
paintings are darker and more obsessive than Naves, and they suggest
that he is entertaining a philosophical question, trying to convince
himself that, despite all practical evidence to the contrary, meaning
resides in the process. And so he continues--we all do." </span></div>
