A limited edition print by Peter Halley probes the limits of printmaking.

Peter Halley's paintings are instantly recognisable. Fluorescent hues, rectilinear forms and industrial materials come together in compositions inspired by the rigid structures of society.

For Rising High II, the ‘cells and conduits’ from one of Halley’s paintings became a playground for printmakers at Make-Ready in London – building on the process devised by Lamina Studios for Galaxia II. Working in close collaboration with the artist, each colour and shape was isolated in a series of stacked, die cut layers.

Silkscreen overprints including metallic shimmer, glitter, gloss varnish and gold leaf bring each element to life. Once assembled the layers create an intricate, 3-dimensional surface.

Peter Halley2 collaborationsPeter Halley creates fluorescent, diagramatic paintings suffused with social commentary. His circuit board-like canvases connect regimented arrangements of rectangles with precise, perpendicular lines. Alluding to what he calls the “geometrisation of modern life,” Halley observes parallels between the structures of electronic networks, prison cells and city planning. Dazzling neon palettes echo those used in eye-catching advertisements, and are rendered using industrial paints such as Roll-a-Tex and Day-Glo. Seamless surfaces, achieved using rollers rather than brushes, intentionally erase any trace of human touch.

I was lucky enough to have been invited to see the creation of this piece of work back in June and met the fantastic Miwa so seeing this print now is just fantastic. The colours are every bit as vibrant as the original.
