Peter Halley on his big paintings at Florence Griswold Museum

For more than 30 years Peter Halley, who first rose to prominence in the 1980s, has enjoyed a robust yet steady career with consistent demand for and interest in his geometric abstract paintings, with their signature prison cells and conduit imagery, often in DayGlo colors. Prior to joining the faculty at Yale University in 1999, he taught at Columbia University and at UCLA, influencing successive generations of younger artists and taking an avid interest in their work and development.
