Celebrating more than thirty years of fruitful collaboration with galeria SENDA, New Yorker Peter Halley presents an exhibition specifically conceived for the venue, consisting of a monumental mural work that contrasts with a carefully selected collection of pieces of a singular small format. This exhibition, designed in detail for our gallery space, seeks to create a contrast and highlight the tensions and dialogues that arise between the different dimensions and compositions.

The exhibition, entitled Trap, is structured around a group of eight small-format works, which, together with one large-scale piece, propose a visual game that invites the viewer to explore the confrontational relationships between the small compositions and the imposing mural. This last creation, approximately five meters wide, represents the largest mural work that Peter Halley has shown to date in the gallery, standing out not only for its size, but also for its ability to transform the exhibition space and provoke an immersive experience.

In addition, this exhibition at galeria SENDA temporarily coincides with the outstanding retrospective dedicated to Peter Halley at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, entitled “Peter Halley en España”, which brings together a significant selection of paintings from important public and private collections, including those of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Fundación Hortensia Herrero. The combination of both exhibitions, in Barcelona and Madrid, offer a broad and deep vision of Halley‘s work, reaffirming his relevance in the contemporary art scene.
