Boris Bally

Boris Bally is an American artist and metal smith in Providence, Rhode Island.

Background

Raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Bally's interest in the metal arts began at age 13 through a class where he made brass knuckles and throwing stars. His interest continued to grow as he experienced the industry through more classes and meeting local artists. He began classes at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts, the Tyler School of Art, and Carnegie Mellon University. Through his travels and apprenticeships, Boris showed an interest in the more extreme and mechanical aspect of design.

Initially, Bally focused on jewellery and flatware to establish himself as an artist. Continuing his interest, he expanded into scrap objects and road signs.[1][2][3]
