Peter Halley (New York, 1953) is one of the most influential artists on the international scene. His arrival on the scene around 1980 rectified the tradition of abstract-geometric art of the 20th century, which until then had been dominated by idealist and formalist concepts, placing it in a social context.
Although he uses geometry as the fundamental support for his works, he always insists on his figurative reference: the space and time of our society, its political and social terrain, and the closed order in which we live.
Peter Halley began as a radical independent artist and has worked to this day without the support of a mega-gallery, collaborating in each country with gallery owners with whom he has a long relationship of trust.
