NUCLEAR SPECTRUM
2020 - 2021
Nuclear Spectrum is Brandon Joseph Baker’s post modern exploration of Western society and culture. Baker juxtaposes historical images related to the nuclear testing The United States conducted during the middle of the 20th century with photographs, mostly nudes or skulls, he creates in his studio. The intent is use shock from the subject matter or placement on public structures to leave the viewer curious as purpose of the juxtaposition. The title of each piece functions as the only clue to the message and is an intentional bread crumb leading to a dialogue where the viewer applies their own experience and perceptions for a more personal meaning. This series ran from 2020 - 2021 as murals, prints, digital art and street art in San Francisco and Oakland, California.
