Glen Baldridge

Baldridge creates paintings, prints, and drawings that incorporate text phrases embedded within complex visual patterns. His work uses various techniques including paper marbling and traditional printmaking processes. Common phrases that appear in his work include "No Way" and "Wait What." His artistic practice includes the use of motion-activated cameras to capture woodland scenes, which he has incorporated into artist books titled "Animal Selfies." The Metropolitan Museum of Art describes his work "Hideaway" (2013) as being based on photographs taken with hidden motion-activated game cameras in rural New England. Baldridge has used materials including found coffin catalogues, lottery tickets, and appropriated imagery in his work. During his 2010 residency at Dieu Donné, he created series based on board games and movie posters.

Baldridge co-founded Forth Estate Editions with Luther Davis, operating the print publishing company for ten years and producing over 60 editions with various artists. He has worked as artist, printer, consultant, and publisher on print editions for other artists and galleries.

Baldridge has exhibited at various institutions including Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, Halsey McKay Gallery, International Print Center, Artists Space, and EFA Project Space. His ninth solo exhibition at Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, titled "Wigwag," took place in 2023.
