About this Event
The six paintings featured in this exhibition represent the significant range of Baylor’s vision, including landscapes. florals, figurative, and architectural work. Each canvas operates as a component of a larger visual conversation about place, memory, and American identity. Baylor employs his signature vibrant palette and line to create compositions that feel simultaneously familiar and contemporary. Great Lakes Modernism challenges viewers to reconsider regional identity in American art. Baylor’s paintings argue that the Midwest is not merely a geographical middle ground, but a distinct cultural space with its own visual language worthy of sustained artistic exploration. His work asks: What does it mean to create modern art from Milwaukee, from Detroit, from Cleveland? How do the rhythms of Great Lakes life—the varying seasons, the brilliant winters, the summer abundance—shape an aesthetic sensibility?
