Peter Halley is an American painter and writer, celebrated for his bold geometric abstractions and critical engagement with contemporary culture. Emerging in the 1980s Neo-Geo movement, Halley is best known for his brightly colored, textured canvases featuring interconnected “cells” and “conduits,” metaphors for the structures of modern life, technology, and social order. His work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in major museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Tate. In addition to his painting practice, Halley has been an influential critic and educator, serving as director of graduate studies in painting at the Yale School of Art.
