Mysterious figures appear against planes of bright red and sunny yellow. Their pale faces and dark, fluid contours suggest human figures, without ever becoming fully recognizable. This gives the scene a theatrical quality: an encounter whose story is left to the imagination. The tension between spontaneity and composition is typical of Balle. With powerful color planes and nervous black lines, he creates a world in which figuration and abstraction constantly flow into one another. This playful alienation is reminiscent of Surrealism and his affinity with the experimental spirit of CoBrA. Number 2 from the series "Mellem årstiderne" from 1974.
