“I see my paintings as diagramming the way space is laid out in our culture – from city grids to microchips.” — Peter Halley
Masterfully balancing the delicacy of Minimalism with a vibrant color palette, Halley emphasizes the purity of pigments and the tactile quality of technique, exemplifying his rigorous language and bold aesthetic.
