Peter Halley — The Turning
Peter Halley

The Turning

2019

"The Turning" by Peter Halley combines acrylic, fluorescent acrylic, and Roll-a-Tex on two adjoined canvases to create a visually dynamic composition that exemplifies the artist's neo-geo aesthetic. The use of vibrant fluorescent pigments and textured materials creates a luminous, tactile surface that references both digital culture and abstract expressionism. Halley's layering of synthetic materials on the joined canvases suggests movement and transformation, characteristic of his exploration of contemporary visual experience through bold color and material experimentation.
