Acrylic on cotton canvas, 2024, 122 × 122 cm (48 × 48 in)
Jonah Ballard’s paintings are just plain fun to look at. They exude a sense of retro cool and playful energy that defines his unique style. The bold contrast between the pastel pinks—seen in the background, her dress, drink, and hair—and the lush green cactus makes the whole scene pop. The woman herself radiates confidence and an effortless, laid-back attitude, as if nothing could faze her. To capture that kind of vibe and character so convincingly on canvas is a true testament to the artist’s skill.
