Peter Halley, born in 1953 in New York, is a contemporary artist who is emblematic of the neo-geo movement, using forms derived from geometric abstraction to create metaphors for our society. His pictorial vocabulary is made up, in the artist’s words, of “prisons”, “cells” and “conduits”, reflecting on the alienation inherent to our contemporary world, where everyone lives in isolation, connected to others only by circuits (pipes, electricity, internet).

This monograph focuses on recounting the reception of Peter Halley’s work in Europe throughout his paintings and his installations.

The book includes an introduction essay written by Domitille d'Orgeval.

By

Peter Halley

For over twenty-five years, Peter Halley’s geometric paintings have been engaged in a play of rela­tionships between what he calls "prisons" and "cells" that reflect the increasing geometricization of social space. Inspired by New York City’s gridded urban plan and by his own isolation within it, he imagines the abstract shape as a barred prison cell connected to the outside world through electronic communication.
