SHARON WEISS GALLERY | 20 E LINCOLN ST.
studio tabletop
The theme for Ballenger’s August solo exhibition is “Studio Tabletop” – it includes larger oil paintings, smaller oil paintings called Details, and photograph enlargements – all of these artworks are based on yearly images that come from the table he paints on in his studio – the actual table is included in the exhibition. This theme speaks to buildup and accumulation and variety of form over time.
