“The essential thing is the simplification. It should be value-free. It’s just like how children express themselves in their language and in their paintings. I invite viewers to find that inner child again; there are many lost adults,” Graessle says. The Swiss-born artist is no stranger to the poster-styled painting found in Balla Balla as she’s been creating all kinds of posters since the ‘90s, obviously without the title Balla Balla. The name of her showcase is derived from a “nonsense” ‘60s song called Baby Balla Balla that “conveys [a] carefree, self-confident attitude towards life. Listeners feel comfortable in their own skin.”
