DescriptionBall studied BA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins. His paintings intend to be suggestive of parables or allegories in which common cultural codes for assigning meaning appear displaced or redundant. The symbolic content of Ball's work is ambiguous but high, with the associations formed between objects and bodies too unstable to be bound or limited by singular, definite readings.
