NEON IN NEW YORK

A THREE PIECE DESIGN COLLECTION INSPIRED BY PETER HALLEY'S NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN THE LEEVER HOUSE LOBBY. AT NIGHT THE BUILDING GLOWED A NEON YELLOWISH GREEN SEEN FROM BLOCKS AWAY, EVEN DURING THE DAY IT SEEMED TO GLOW. ONCE INSIDE THE LOOBY, YOU'RE GREETED WITH LARGE CANVAS PAINTINGS AND A SEEMINGLY IMPENETRABLE BLOCK LIKE STRUCTURE. HOWEVER, THIS STRUCTURE HOUSES DIGITALLY GENERATED MURAL WORKS BY THE ARTIST HIMSELF. HALLEY'S ARTWORK HAS ALWAYS FOCUSED ON THE HIGHLY DETERMINED CHARACTER OF OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT, AS WELL AS THE DIGITAL AGE AND THE ORGANIZATION OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL SPACE, IN WHICH PHYSICALLY ISOLATED UNITS ARE LINKED BY DISCRETE, TECHNOLOGICALLY GOVERNED CIRCUITS.
