"We live in a society of informational and cultural overload . . . I want to make something explosive and immediate. And hopefully explosive and immediate each time you go by and take a quick look at it." —Peter Halley

Peter Halley is best known for his large paintings that harness geometric abstraction and striking fluorescent color to explore the physical and psychological structures of social space. In the 1980s, he developed a distinctive iconography of cells, prisons, conduits, and explosions. These forms are at once broad and specific, providing space for viewers to make individual readings and for new ideas to emerge as cultural perceptions shift. Beyond painting, Halley has utilized printmaking as a field of experimentation, augmenting an artistic practice that evolves to address technology change. Peter Halley: Making Multiples presents a selection that demonstrates his embrace of both traditional processes and pioneering new models. The exhibition includes the artist’s work in silkscreen; lithography; molded fiberglass and other low-relief techniques; 2D and 3D digital printing; and more. Halley's robust archive of writings and interviews, paired alongside these prints, reveal his rigorous thinking behind concept, aesthetic, material, and process across more than four decades of making multiples.
