 Jack Balas is an artist working in painting and photography, cross-referenced at times with writing and other media.  All of the works become, in a sense, documents -- documents (or maps) annotated with words or images that, when compiled into a book or exhibition or globe, suggest reading from left to right, right to left, upside-down or inside-out.  His goal is to make images that are memorable not only via their stylistic variety, in a sense creating flags that signal a kind of symbolic territory, but also to offer the viewer a kind of map where it is the viewers responsibility to build bridges across the middle ground between images and ideas.

A recipient in 1995 of an individual fellowship in painting from the National Endowment for the Arts, he is represented in the Kent Logan Collection at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.  A portfolio of his paintings "Today I Drove Along the Rio Grande" was published in issue #120 of The Paris Review (New York)
