Allen Thomas Ball

Midtown West has long been a quiet magnet for painters who trade loft space for natural light and a short walk to the Hudson. Allen Thomas Ball fits neatly into that tradition—an artist whose studio doubles as a private gallery on the sixth floor of a converted garment building. The work here leans toward large-scale abstract canvases; visitors often remark on the way color fields seem to shift under changing daylight, though the studio itself remains accessible only by appointment. Those curious about current projects or available pieces can call for an appointment. The address is 323 W 39th St Studio 609, New York, NY 10018, and directions can be found on the map. While the neighborhood’s industrial past is slowly giving way to glass towers, studios like this one keep the creative pulse alive behind unassuming brick facades.
