MAC BALL Solo Exhibition

MAC BALL Solo Exhibition
March 31 - April 21
Opening celebration: Friday, March 31, 5 - 8pm, at the downtown location

Charleston-born, New Orleans-based artist and architect Mac Ball debuts a new body of work during his first exhibition at Meyer Vogl Gallery. 

"Though I have made paintings most of my life, I recently retired from a long career in architecture to paint full time only to find myself, like all of us, a bit trapped and caught in the conundrum of the seemingly endless Covid pandemic," says Ball. "My focus in painting has been primarily on landscapes and waterscapes: our marshlands and riverine environments that are beautiful, timeless, and now, frighteningly fragile in this time of sea level rise and climate change. 

"This pandemic, however, has made me aware of slowness, stillness and a different kind of space, one that is more intimate and personal. While this exhibit is still concerned with environmental compositions in the form of coastal landscapes and littoral zones, I decided to focus on interior spaces as well, in the form of traditional still life and floral compositions, to explore a softer geometry and a richer palette of colors and tones."
