Double Elvis 1990

Peter Halley's "Double Elvis" is a 1990 painting that exemplifies his signature style of geometric abstraction. The artwork is divided into two sections with vivid contrasting colors. The left side features a bold red square within a yellow field, while the right side showcases a black square with a gray background. This creates a dynamic tension, emphasizing the interplay of shapes, colors, and space. Halley's work often references prison cells and the grid-like structure of modern architecture, exploring themes of confinement and social control.
