Painter Richard Baker works within the genre of still life, but "elbow[s] out the edges of it," he says, incorporating landscape and portraiture in non-traditional ways. With palpable nostalgia for the pre-ebook era, he depicts paperback editions from the 1960s and '70s, faithfully portraying not only the front cover's original details, "but also signs of its passage through time - creases, worn bindings and all."
