BroadWay Armchair by Boris Bally

It might be easy to dismiss the work of Boris Bally with a simple ,”Oh yeah, he does that recycled traffic sign stuff”. But a closer look at his work, particularly his new “Broadway Armchair” reveals the hand and eye of a sophisticated artist. He manages to marry familiar quotidian imagery with artful sculptural forms. Michael Monroe was led to claim, “An attraction to the bold graphics of discarded highway signage inspired Boris Bally to collect, recycle, and fabricate furniture of great wit and distinction. His chairs – with fragmented words, symbols and arrows splashed across their surfaces – seem to symbolize urban grit and rhythms.” I couldn’t have said it better myself!
