About the Item
"My paintings have a very simple vocabulary: I call the rectangles either prisons or cells, and they’re connected by lines that I call conduits. For whatever reason, ever since I was a very young person, I made geometric paintings, and I grew up in the era of Minimalism. And the Minimalist artists generally said “these forms don’t refer to anything; they’re geometric forms, they have no relationship to the outside world.” And to me, that didn’t make sense. I thought, “our whole technological world is full of geometric forms.” And for the Minimalist artists, geometry represented a kind of ideal form: Platonic squares and circles. But for me, I began to think, “well, geometry is also kind of a prison. If you’re in your office or in front of your computer, it’s also kind of keeping you in a box.” So my vocabulary came about in reaction to Minimalism, trying to bring back a relationship between Geometric Abstraction and the world we live in….” - Peter Halley
