About the work

Peter Halley’s paintings are characterized by geometry, strong colours and strictly consequent composition. They can be read as a critique of a society increasingly controlled by systems of communication, provision and traffic – structures, that don’t even allow the individual to escape from. At the same time, Halley is investigating the essence of painting beyond image and representation.

'I’ve been using this Roll-A-Tex material for about 30 years and sometimes I think I must be a little crazy, what is it about it? But then one day I said to myself: if every part of the painting had a flat surface I don’t think they’d be as successful. That you need this granular surface in contrast to the flat surface to kind of bring them alive.'
- Peter Halley
