Peter Halley “New York New York”

Lever House

This event has ended.

Curated by Roya Sachs

“…he will display six new paintings; they are still prisons and conduits, but now Halley has mashed his canvases together to form ungainly new shapes, as though his cells are staging a jail break. Inside are three rooms wallpapered in a smorgasbord of signature motifs: Halley’s ’80s sketchbook drawings, digitally printed onto a radioactive-looking yellow backdrop; images of gooey cartoon explosions, displayed under color-shifting LEDS; a mesmerizing blue matrix of cells that glow like computer screens beneath a “pseudo-mystical” black light.”
