Over the past five decades, Halley’s lexicon has included three elements which explore the digital era and industrialization: ‘prisons’, ‘cells’ and ‘conduits.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture of \u003cem\u003eRebus I\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eRebus IV\u003c\/em\u003e is informed by Halley’s use of Roll-A-Tex in his paintings (a low-budget paint additive seen in popcorn ceilings).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalley challenged LITO Editions to \"clone\" this material, repeating the twelve individual cells on metal frames, which were then bolted together into a tightly packed contra- punctual grid, an effect heightened by the arrangement of each cell at a different level of relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe series has been conceived through digital processes – to create the texture, relief and structure of the work – and then hand-painted at the LITO Tech Lab – a large space in Austria spanning a laboratory, studio and workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LITO Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58123154358536,"sku":null,"price":13155.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/5411\/8664\/files\/PH_Rebus_I_Front_PS_BGW_6753dea0-3ad6-470c-aefa-49bff1b36a10.png?v=1781708702","url":"https:\/\/lito.io\/products\/peter-halley-rebus-i","provider":"LITO Editions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
