Day-Glo Prison — Fine Art

Day Glow Prison 1982 opens on hard painted rectangles set inside a plain ground. The blocks read as rooms or cells and the titles point to that reading. Peter Halley works in the minimalist and post minimal painting tradition.

The print sits on a fine art print with a matte surface. The flat finish keeps the bright colour fields even and the edges clean against a chosen wall.

It fits a hallway wall where the light falls flat. You see the blocks from the landing and the plain ground stays dull, so the shapes hold their shape.
