Chris Ballantyne (b. 1972)

‘I am interested in the figure in terms of the landscape, whether it’s a built or natural environment. I want to reference the figure through architecture and space. A scene can suggest something going on in a more open ended way than by actually placing figures in it’ (C. Ballantyne, interview with J. Lee, in ‘Spotlight: Chris Ballantyne’, in New American Paintings, April/May 2008.)
