Peter Halley

Artist, American, born 1953

The image shows a composition of straight, freehand lines forming overlapping rectangular shapes. The lines vary in thickness and have a hand-drawn quality. The interconnected lines and shapes create a sense of depth, similar to nested picture frames or a maze. The overall look is abstract and reminiscent of a blueprint or floor plan.
