    Cleon Peterson Freedom/Prosperity At Any Price- Red Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Freedom/Prosperity At Any Price- Red Limited Edition Hand Pulled 2-Color Screenprint Print on 290gsm Arches Rag Paper with Deckled Edges by Cleon Peterson Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Hand-pulled 18 x 24" screenprint. Printed on 290gsm Arches Rag paper with deckled edges. Each print is signed and numbered. Limited edition of 125. The visuality of Cleon Peterson's work is based on a variety of influences, from ancient Greek pottery to comics, resulting in monochromacy and strong color symbolism. In more detail, the figures exist on multiple straight lines, something that, subsequently, creates the illusion that the artwork is divided in levels. The perspective and the impression of depth do moderately exist in the art of Peterson and, just like in Greek vases, the background space is usually left empty or slightly embellished.

    The Devil Made Me Do It Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 18x24 "The TRUTH image ran in the New York Times right before the election in the opinion feature, What Have We Lost. The Devil Made Me Do It & Divided We Stand, United We Fall were both made on January 6th in response to the Faustian bargain that Trump and his accomplices made in designing the coup. Today, we find ourselves at a crossroads; now, more than ever, we must come together, take a stand, exercise our voices, and fight for Truth and Democracy. Hopefully, daylight will cast off this right-wing authoritarian spell. I see these posters as markers of a historical time and feel a duty within to share my views. We're all exhausted by politics, but we must embrace the moment and take action because the threat is fundamental; our democracy could be gone in the blink of an eye." - Cleon Peterson. Cleon Peterson's Stark Commentary in "The Devil Made Me Do It" In the stark dichotomy of black and red, Cleon Peterson's "The Devil Made Me Do It" delivers a powerful visual commentary on the socio-political climate surrounding the events of January 6th, marked by the infamous U.S. Capitol riots. This hand-pulled 2-color silkscreen print on hand-deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper emerges as a piece of street pop art and a historical marker, capturing a moment of intense national upheaval. Art as a Reflection of Societal Turmoil Peterson's artwork, a limited edition of 300 signed and numbered pieces, transcends the traditional boundaries of pop art. It embodies the artist's response to a fraught political landscape, reacting to the tumultuous events that shook the foundations of American democracy. The imagery of a man seemingly dancing while overshadowed by demonic figures speaks to the "Faustian bargain," suggesting a dance with the devil that echoes the betrayals and manipulations of political figures and the public seduced by their rhetoric. The title, "The Devil Made Me Do It," offers an ironic twist on the age-old excuse for succumbing to temptations and making morally questionable choices. Peterson's choice to release these works as a direct response to political events positions the artwork within a tradition of artists who use their craft to document and critique the times they live in. The visual language used in this piece is reminiscent of street art's often aggressive and provocative style, meant to engage the public in public spaces. The Role of Street Pop Art in Political Discourse Cleon Peterson's work exemplifies the role of street pop art in political discourse. Street art has always had a voice in the political arena, often serving as a raw expression of the people, unfiltered and unmediated. Through his work, Peterson extends this tradition by creating a piece that is both a reaction to and reflection of the political unrest that has characterized recent times. With its bold, unapologetic lines and vibrant colors, silkscreen printing makes "The Devil Made Me Do It" a commanding presence. It is a testament to the artist's ability to distill complex political and social emotions into a single, impactful image. In the tradition of street pop art, which often involves taking art out of the galleries and into the streets, Peterson's piece is designed to resonate with a broad audience, its message clear and accessible to all who encounter it. "The Devil Made Me Do It" is more than just a piece of pop art; it is a visual essay on the state of contemporary politics, a call to action, and a reminder of the power of art to reflect and affect change. It is a bold statement within the discourse of street pop art and graffiti artwork, capturing a moment when the world watched as democracy appeared to hang in the balance. Cleon Peterson's voice, through his art, adds to the chorus of those who advocate for truth and democracy, and his work remains a powerful example of how art can engage with and influence the political landscape.

We’re all exhausted by politics, but we must embrace the moment and take action because the threat is fundamental; our democracy could be gone in the blink of an eye." - Cleon Peterson The connection of Peterson with street art is also an aspect of his work worth mentioning. Even though he has created numerous murals all over the world, the artist himself does consider himself a street artist: “I don’t think of myself as a street artist or somebody that does work in that vein, but I love the idea of doing large paintings that confront people.”. This is revealing of his motivation to make his art as accessible as possible, as a way to invite the viewers to interact with it and confront the subjects the artist is interested in addressing. This brings up the following questions concerning the art of Peterson: “What is the meaning of it? Does it have a meaning after all? If yes, is this pre-determined by the artist? In order to better understand the way meaning is created in the world of Cleon Peterson, it is essential to, primarily, understand the way he perceives the media as a field of allegations, unbased rumors, suppositions and outright lies. In the world that the artist has created and, in correlation with our own reality, media is a tool of manipulation in the hands of politicians, leaving us helpless and in the mercy of an exploitative authoritarian system.

    Little Big Man- Black On Red Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper Deckled Edges by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Pop Art Artwork. 2018 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Cleon Peterson (b. 1973) Little Big Man (Black on Red), 2018 Screenprint in colors on Coventry Rag paper 24 x 18 inches (61 x 45.7 cm) (sheet) Ed. 149/150 Signed and numbered in pencil along lower edge Published by the artist "Little Big Man Black On Red" is a silkscreen print by Cleon Peterson, an American artist known for his bold, graphic style and provocative themes. Peterson's work often explores the darker aspects of human nature, such as violence, power struggles, and societal chaos. His art is heavily influenced by his experiences with drug addiction and recovery, which give his work a unique perspective on the human condition. In "Little Big Man Black On Red," Peterson employs his signature high-contrast color palette, featuring black figures puppeteering President Donald Trump set against a bright red/orange background. The silkscreen print depicts a chaotic scene of figures engaged in various acts of violence and domination. This piece is part of a larger body of work by Peterson, which often addresses themes of power dynamics and the cyclical nature of violence. As a silkscreen print, "Little Big Man Black On Red" is produced using a stencil-based printing process. In this method, an artist creates a stencil, or screen, for each color layer in the artwork. Ink is then pushed through the screen onto a surface, such as paper or canvas. This process allows for the creation of multiple identical prints, which are typically produced in limited editions and signed by the artist. The silkscreen technique is often used by artists for its ability to produce bold, vibrant colors and clean, sharp lines, which are evident in Peterson's striking compositions.

Propaganda
Propaganda, historically known for its influential nature in shaping public opinions and ideas, has been a prominent subject in contemporary graffiti art and street art prints. Graffiti and street art have long been recognized as powerful tools for expressing social and political messages, sparking dialogues and challenging the status quo. The incorporation of propaganda as a topic in this medium demonstrates the artists' keen understanding of its impact on society and their desire to subvert or critique its pervasive influence. One of the driving forces behind incorporating propaganda into graffiti and street art prints is the artists' motivation to challenge mainstream narratives and question established ideologies. Through visually striking, thought-provoking, and often controversial images, these artists aim to stimulate critical thinking and encourage viewers to reevaluate their own beliefs and perceptions. In many cases, the artists employ irony, satire, and parody to highlight the absurdities and deceptions within political and media landscapes. Moreover, graffiti and street art prints featuring propaganda themes tend to draw attention to the power dynamics at play in societies across the globe. By showcasing propaganda imagery and slogans, artists expose the manipulative tactics employed by governments, corporations, and other influential entities to shape public opinion, manipulate emotions, and further their agendas. In this way, graffiti and street art prints serve as a reminder of the pervasive nature of propaganda, urging viewers to stay vigilant and critical of the messages they encounter. The use of propaganda in graffiti art and street art prints also has the potential to empower marginalized voices and communities. By appropriating symbols, slogans, and images associated with propaganda, artists can subvert dominant narratives and give a voice to the underrepresented. This act of resistance and reclaiming is particularly relevant in the context of political oppression, social injustice, and systemic inequality, where art has long been a potent means of protest and self-expression. Furthermore, the exploration of propaganda themes in graffiti art and street art prints enables artists to reflect on the historical and cultural contexts in which they exist. By drawing inspiration from past events and iconic propaganda campaigns, these works create a visual language that transcends geographic boundaries and generations. In doing so, they encourage viewers to consider the cyclical nature of history and the recurring patterns of manipulation and control. The intersection of propaganda and graffiti art and street art prints is not only visually compelling, but it also highlights the powerful role that art can play in initiating conversations, challenging beliefs, and fostering change. By exploring propaganda as a topic, graffiti and street artists demonstrate their commitment to addressing pressing societal issues, providing an alternative perspective to mainstream narratives, and pushing the boundaries of creative expression. Graffiti art and street art prints featuring propaganda themes have become increasingly popular and impactful in recent years. By incorporating these themes, artists can engage in critical discourse, question established ideologies, empower marginalized voices, and connect with historical and cultural contexts. This unique fusion of propaganda and graffiti and street art provides an invaluable avenue for sparking debate, inspiring critical thinking, and promoting social change.
