"Where my paintings are flat, that is a coded image of space. When they're coated with Roll-a-Tex, that implies a depiction of an enclosure or cell." – Peter Halley
Shadow conspiracy (1996) is a part of a significant cell-and-conduit painting series created in 1990s. This work is characterized by a harmonious blend of diverse surfaces and rich colors, highlighted by a distinctive combination of vibrant purple and striking violet, which prominently command the composition. Multiple bars interconnect and overlay squares and rectangles, masterfully merging the dynamics of geometric structures with the graceful architecture of classical painting.
