Page 6 - Texas Dimensional: Fine Art in Three Dimensions Catalog of Work

Andre Bally founded BALLY STUDIOS,

with his wife Virginia in 1994 and has been
greatly influenced by the cultures and
design motifs of the traditional Japanese
Potters, that of the North American Indian

Potters and various other Aboriginal Art
Cultures. Along with a diverse Art and
Design background, these influences are
reflected in the design and finishes of

Virginia’s and Andre’s work. Andre Bally
has been experimenting with ceramics,
glass, and metal for over forty years. The
Ballys have curated numerous shows together and have pieces on exhibit in

private collections in Canada, Europe, and the United States.

The San Antonio Art League & Museum
(SAALM) is a venerable building in
the heart of the King William Historic
District. Built in 1896, this intimate

house-turned-museum and gallery
now houses over 600 works in its
permanent collection, which focuses
on Texas artists. Works in all media -

including paintings, drawings, prints and
photographs, ceramics, and sculpture -
are available for public viewing. Revolving contemporary exhibits highlight both
local and regional artists and represent the unique work of diverse Texas talent.
