Brandon JOSEPH BAKER // MURALIST
Mural Process
Brandon Joseph Baker’s murals begin with photography and designs he creates and scales based on the project installation. Utilizing production partners in large scale commercial printing, careful selection of mediums and a cadre of painters, his work pushes past traditional mural services.
In 2020 Baker created three murals to cover the exterior of Zeitgeist during an earthquake retrofit. Baker partnered with Lady Henze to bring a bold color contrast to the facade of this popular beer garden watering hole. The work was exhibited and sold to private buyers through The City Canvased, A Paint The Void Retrospective.

Baker’s murals are based on his mixed media collages and symbolically explore how home, love, community, identity and the environment influence our understanding and experiences in the cities and world we inhabit. His materials and process allow him to customize and scale his works from gallery fine art to public spaces seamlessly. His recent art work has pushed past the stark black and white contrast of post modernism and is embracing bold vintage color palettes, pop art and nostalgic ephemera from the 1970s.

Scaling materials and Source content to any project
20 years of commercial photography and design experience allows Brandon Joseph Baker to scale all his work to any project size. Baker’s mediums in his fine art; printed collage, spray paint and latex house paint, translate to every mural project regardless of the scale or location.
Baker customized his wheat paste street art into a sexy space trip mural for a pizza pop up during the height of the Pandemic and again for an independent music venue in Kansas City.
Baker crafted these murals for the client aesthetic requests and budget allotment. Every mural is designed and catered to the nuances of each client’s needs.
