Peter Halley’s CELL GRIDS exhibition at Dallas Contemporary (Spring 2022) revealed a deliberate shift in his creative process. Between 2015 and the present, Halley meticulously crafted large-scale, grid-based paintings by bolting together multiple canvases and applying layers of acrylic, fluorescent pigments, Flashe enamel, and Roll-a-Tex. The texture of Roll-a-Tex—a commercial additive often used in architectural surfaces—introduces palpable tactility, while the brightly pigmented rectilinear “cells” are isolated into syncopated grids. This approach abandons his usual iconography of prisons and conduits in favor of a focused exploration of abstraction, surface, and structure, creating a tension between minimalism and referential Modernist dialogue.
