Limited Edition of 35

Inspired by Halley’s ‘Cell Grid’ paintings, a series which began in 2014, the work features Peter Halley’s hand-painted textured surface digitally rendered and “cloned” nine times. This collection of editions has been conceived through a mechanical process – to create the texture and relief of the work – as well as a manual process, utilizing pigments and paints commonly used in Peter Halley’s paintings.
“Color, Nine Times II” is informed by Halley’s interest in low-budget urbanization. Incorporating this theme into the process, Halley challenged LITO Editions to clone a ‘cell’ of Roll-A-Tex (a textured material seen in popcorn ceilings) and repeat it nine times to create nine individual canvases, which are then bolted together into a tightly packed yet unstable jigsaw puzzle, reminiscent of vintage video games. An effect heightened by the push and pull play of volumes. The signature hues of fluorescent nuances of colors in “Color, Nine Times II” were made in Peter Halley’s Studio and were then applied to each canvas at the LITO Tech Lab.
