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 o ur 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. Show more
