Untitled, Jetty (Snow), 2008 by Chris Ballantyne

Just this past Monday Kika let you know that 20x200 artist Chris Ballantyne will be showing at the Mixed Greens 10th Anniversary Exhibition (along with other 20x200 stars Coke O'Neal and Ann Tarantino), and this very Wednesday I'm here to let you know that Chris was featured in the July issue of Guernica Magazine, a biweekly magazine of art and politics.

From Guernica:

With shrewd restraint, Ballantyne accentuates the antisocial effects of our built environment with a hint of humor and plenty of ambiguity. A curious emptiness permeates the work. Graphically rendered buildings, pools, parking lots, and fences take on new meanings and amplified significance, isolated on flat fields of color.

Read the full feature here, and if you're in NYC, don't miss Chris tomorrow at Mixed Greens!
