The Thalkens

The Thalkens by Max Baker, Oil on board, 2025

Selected for the 2025 London Art Biennale, United States of America. Oil on board, 2025.

One in a series of paintings exploring identity and repetition ‘The Thalkens’ captures an educated, middle-aged American couple suspended in the quiet architecture of a long-term relationship. Layered brushwork and muted tones evoke time not as a moment, but as something lived-in, endured, and shared.
