BENOIT BALLON

Walk into Benoit Ballon's floral studio and you'll think you are in Paris. The French-born and trained master designer brings a European sense of aesthetics to Austin from his centrally located shop, King Florist.

The structural elements of Laurie Frick's collages mirror Benoit's approach to design. In his unique signature pieces, he balances impact and simplicity to create the unexpected. At a distance, movement and color intrigue; up close, the textures and details captivate.

Interpreting art work is not new to Benoit. While living in San Francisco, he was a guest designer at the prestigious Bouquets to Art at the Honor of Legion Museum for six years. For IN BLOOM, he plans to engage us with an interactive installation that is certain to capture the visual rhythm of Frick's Man Men collage.
