Item Special Note
Unique in style, design and conception. Boris Bally's award-winning work is both witty and innovative employing the use of jeweler's skills on non-precious materials. The Urban Enamel work transforms selected recycled street sign materials into joyful objects for reflection. These pieces celebrate raw American street-aesthetic in the form of useful objects for the home. Pieces are distinctive as signage is collected for its bold imagery and weathered patina.
Bally's work has received two Rhode Island Council on the Arts Fellowships in Design and a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fellowship. His work is featured in numerous international exhibitions and publications. Public collections include London's V&A Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, Renwick Gallery and Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum.We here at AIDS Care want to thank Boris for his continued support of the agency.
