Description

Peter Halley: A Monograph by Robert Hobbs This monograph explores the work of contemporary artist Peter Halley, whose paintings challenged traditional notions of art in the digital age. By incorporating elements of sociology and science fiction, Halley revitalized painting and debunked its high art connotations. Halley's use of lowbrow media, such as fluorescent colors and Roll-A-Tex, allowed him to deconstruct early- and mid-twentieth-century geometric abstraction and reimagine it in new forms. The book analyzes his work in relation to the opportunities provided by the internet, Photoshop, and various sociological theories. Through a detailed examination of Halley's art, this monograph sheds light on the artist's unique approach to painting and its connection to the divide between analog and digital worlds.
