Galaxia II translates the orthogonal language of pioneering Neo-Geo painter Peter Halley into an edition of intricate, low relief prints.

4 individual layers are printed using vibrant UV inks and finished with metallic foil details, including a narrow gold border conceived to echo the gilded surround of a medieval altar. Rectangular ‘cells’ connected by circuit board-esque ‘conduits’ nod to the rigid structures which underpin society – and life within it.

The innovative technique results from Halley’s close collaboration with a world-leading print studio. “As an artist, I think of myself as a composer, and the printmaker as the conductor of the orchestra.”

Find out more about the process of creating the edition in an accompanying journal.
