Peter Halley's Organizational Charts explore the intersection of geometry and social structures, often reflecting the underlying systems of control and communication in modern life. The artist's use of vibrant colors, grids, and interconnected forms in these works conveys the complexity of corporate, institutional, and technological frameworks. By depicting abstract, diagrammatic representations of networks and hierarchies, Halley critiques the mechanized and sometimes impersonal nature of contemporary organizational systems. These charts serve as visual metaphors for the power dynamics and social structures that govern our daily existence.
