Lost in Translation 2004

"Lost in Translation" is a 2004 work by American artist Peter Halley, a leading figure in the neo-geometric art movement. Halley's work is characterized by its vibrant colors and hard-edged geometric forms, referencing modern architecture, prison cells, and urban environments. In this painting, a series of bold, interlocking shapes are juxtaposed against a white background, evoking a sense of architectural structure and urban abstraction. The use of primary colors and geometric forms create a sense of both order and chaos, referencing the complex and often contradictory nature of modern life.
