He employed fluorescent colours and Roll-A-Tex to deconstruct early and mid-twentieth-century transcendent geometric abstraction into abstract cells and prisons, adding conduits to imaginatively access outside forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePeter Halley\u003c\/em\u003e has met many challenges posed by the Information Age and French poststructuralism by situating his painting on the divide separating analogue and digital worlds. Robert Hobbs's monograph analyses Halley's geometric and highly keyed art in terms of opportunities provided by the Internet, aesthetic possibilities afforded by Photoshop, timely relevance advanced by Michel Foucault's and Jean Baudrillard's sociological theories, as well as conundrums presented by both science fiction and physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431925825772,"sku":"9783777441672","price":105.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783777441672.jpg?v=1774557074","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/peter-halley-by-robert-hobbs-9783777441672","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
