Exploring the Circular Narrative: Cleon Peterson's 'Revolution Is a Mother' "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo," a silkscreen print by Cleon Peterson, encapsulates a poignant message through its unique circular format. The 2024 limited edition, with only 100 signed and numbered prints, dramatically portrays the revolution's cyclic and often self-destructive nature. This artwork, sized at 24x24 inches, is meticulously crafted on hand-deckled circle cut 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper, highlighting the contrast between the piece's delicate presentation and its powerful content. Symbolism in Cleon Peterson's Tondo The tondo, a round piece of art, has a rich history dating back to the Renaissance and is often used to symbolize perfection or the divine. Peterson's adaptation of this format into street pop art and graffiti artwork is an inventive means of capturing the perpetual motion of conflict and societal upheaval. The circular frame compels the viewer's eye to move continuously around the image, echoing the cyclical and repetitive nature of the struggles depicted within. While bearing the starkness of Peterson's characteristic black-and-white palette, the print gains a new dimension through its shape, emphasizing the never-ending cycle of revolution and its consequences. The figures within the tondo engage in acts of violence and dominance, with no clear beginning or end, a poignant metaphor for the often unending turmoil of societal change.

The limited edition nature of this work, along with the artist's renown, ensures that this piece will hold its place in contemporary art conversation for years to come. Cleon Peterson's "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo" is a compelling portrayal of the perpetual nature of social upheaval.

His work often provides a haunting mirror to societal tensions, rendering them visually captivating through the stark contrast between light and dark, order and chaos, violence and peace. One piece that exemplifies this distinctive style is his "Promised Land Night" silkscreen print.

It showcases figures engaged in what appears to be a chaotic, violent struggle, as a symbol of the perpetual conflict and power dynamics within societies. Despite its seemingly bleak narrative, the composition carries an undeniable magnetism, skillfully drawing the viewer in.

It underscores the harsh narrative of his work while simultaneously highlighting the meticulous detail of his composition. Each figure, while entangled in the wider chaos, holds its narrative, rendering the piece a compelling visual exploration of societal unrest. The "Promised Land Night" speaks volumes of Peterson's vision of the world – not shying away from harsh realities, but rather confronting and examining them through his artwork. With the ever-present contrast between the stark visual style and the dark themes, Peterson positions himself firmly in the continuum of pop and street art, challenging viewers to consider the depths of human nature and societal structures. It is through such bold pieces that Cleon Peterson cements his place in contemporary art, forever pushing boundaries and igniting necessary conversations about society and its structures.

The paintings of this series are a departure from my earlier figurative painting. For the last decade or so I had tried to depict universal time and avoided man-made objects. I’ve dropped that dogma. I love that the subject is current, and also contains elements that seem from another era." - David Molesky

  • I Will Love You Until The End HPM Stencil Wood Print by Denial- Daniel Bombardier

    Denial- Daniel Bombardier I Will Love You Until The End HPM Stencil Wood Print by Denial- Daniel Bombardier

    I Will Love You Until The End Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Spray Paint, Acrylic, Stencil, Mixed Media On Cradled Wood Panel by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Limited Edition of HPM 5 Hand Embleshed Artwork Size 24x36 Canadian artist Denial and Australian-born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society. Self-­confessed ‘visual thieves’, both artists have had a long history of stealing and subverting the cultural icons that the advertising and consumerist world has thrust upon us to create new and pertinent interpretations that are as confronting as they are humorous. Denial and Frost formed an instant friendship after meeting in Canada in 2011 and have been creating engaging street and gallery work ever since. "Company of Thieves" sees their collaboration push further, with large and small-scale works referencing Pop Art, Graffiti, and the corporate world they rebel against. In the world of Denial, memory is essential because it is the basis of his work, as it nostalgically encourages the audience to engage with it. As a result, his art is as familiar as it is disturbing because it reveals the most unsettling parts of society, the ones we are in a “denial” of. No matter its controversial history, graffiti is less and less viewed as a form of vandalism.

  • The Triumphant Warrior Giclee Print by Buff Monster

    Buff Monster The Triumphant Warrior Giclee Print by Buff Monster

    The Triumphant Warrior Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print on Fine Art Paper by Modern Artist Buff Monster. 2012 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 24x24 "The Triumphant Warrior" is a testament to Buff Monster's distinctive style within pop and street art, brought to life through a limited edition giclee print on fine art paper. This 2012 piece is set against a stark and stylized landscape, featuring a one-eyed pink character reminiscent of soft-serve ice cream, triumphantly standing over a vanquished dragon. The print measures 24x24 inches and is part of a limited edition series, with only 50 signed and numbered pieces, adding to its value and collectability. Buff Monster's work is often characterized by its bright, vibrant colors and whimsical themes. It draws heavily from various cultural influences, including Japanese Kawaii—a style emphasizing cuteness, graffiti art, and classic American cartoon imagery. In "The Triumphant Warrior," these elements are on full display; the pink hue of the central character pops against the muted background, drawing the eye directly to the subject. The scene humorously subverts the classic trope of a brave knight slaying a dragon by replacing the knight with a playful, almost childlike creature wielding a spear with a cherry on top. This artwork not only captures Buff Monster's iconic use of the color pink but also incorporates his recurring eye motif, which together provide a signature look that is instantly recognizable. Giclée printing technology ensures that each detail, from the glossy shine of the creature's head to the intricate patterns on the fallen dragon, is reproduced with high fidelity. The fine art paper serves as an ideal canvas, ensuring that each print retains the visual impact of the original work. By releasing "The Triumphant Warrior" as a limited edition, Buff Monster creates a sense of urgency and exclusivity around the artwork, principles often seen in street art, where the impermanent nature of the medium is part of its charm. Collectors of this piece not only obtain a slice of Buff Monster's world but also engage with the dialogue between street art's transient nature and the enduring form of fine art prints. This piece encapsulates the playful defiance at the heart of Buff Monster's artistic expression, embodying a triumphant spirit that is both whimsical and heroic in its own right.

  • Grin Guard Archival Print by Ron English

    Ron English Grin Guard Archival Print by Ron English

    Grin Guard Limited Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art Prints on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper by Graffiti Street Art and Pop Culture Artist Ron English. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Archival Pigment Print in Colors on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Artwork Size 24x20 "Grin Guard" stands out as a compelling exemplar of Ron English's artistic vision, where he seamlessly integrates elements of satire, pop culture, and street art. Known for his critical and humorous take on contemporary society, English's creation is a limited edition series comprising 150 signed and numbered prints, each rendered with archival pigment on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper. This paper is renowned for its ability to present a broad spectrum of vibrant colors and preserve the fine details of the artwork, making it an ideal medium for English's detailed style. Sized at 24x20 inches, each piece in this series is a work of art and a collector's item. This print features a phalanx of stormtroopers from the iconic "Star Wars" franchise, each donning a different expression of Ron English's signature grin—a recurrent motif in his work that often symbolizes the subversive undercurrents of pop culture. Against a backdrop that evokes a surrealist landscape beneath an ominous UFO, the scene is familiar and jarringly otherworldly. This juxtaposition is emblematic of English's approach, which often places recognizable characters in unexpected contexts to critique and comment on media, consumerism, and the corporatization of American culture. Through "Grin Guard," English explores the concept of the 'trooper' not just as a faceless enforcer but as a being with an individual, if concealed, identity. The grinning skulls emblazoned on their helmets suggest a macabre sense of mortality and individuality within the conformity of their ranks. This piece is a powerful commentary on identity and anonymity, particularly within mass media and entertainment, where characters often become mere extensions of their fictional universes rather than being perceived as reflections of human nature. Ron English's work continues to challenge viewers, using the accessible mediums of street and pop art to provoke thought and discussion. "Grin Guard" is no exception, offering not only an aesthetic that resonates with fans of these genres but also conveying a more profound message about the complex interplay between individuality and cultural iconography. Through such works, English affirms his status as an innovative artist who can blur the lines between fine art and the rebellious spirit of street art.

  • The Tempest Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Cleon Peterson The Tempest Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    The Tempest Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson Hand-Pulled 1-Color on 370gsm Legion Sirio Ultrablack Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2021 Signed by Cleon Peterson & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Artwork Size 24x30 Silkscreen Print Published by Louis Buhl & Co. Signed, Dated, And Numbered In Pencil Along Lower Edge. The Provocative Essence of The Tempest in Street Pop Art In the tapestry of street pop art, few works stir the pot of social commentary as vigorously as Cleon Peterson's "The Tempest." This hand-pulled silkscreen print, manifested on the decadent 370gsm Legion Sirio Ultrablack fine art paper, is a limited edition creation that delves deep into the dissonance of human nature and societal conflict. Completed in 2021, this piece is part of a limited series, with only 30 pieces decorated with Peterson's signature and a unique number denoting its place in this exclusive release. With dimensions of 24x30 inches, "The Tempest" commands presence, drawing the eye and the mind into a discourse that is quintessential to the ethos of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Peterson's work is not for the faint of heart. It's a visual punch, unapologetic and blunt in its depiction of the darker facets of humanity. "The Tempest" is a testament to this unabashed bravery, presenting a dichotomy of black and white that goes beyond color, delving into the dualities of power and subjugation, order and chaos. The starkness of the monochrome palette is a deliberate choice, reflective of the clear-cut division in the societal structures that Peterson often critiques through his art. The absence of color is a strategic silence, allowing the narrative of domination and resistance to resonate louder with its audience. Street Pop Art and Its Dialogues on the Concrete Canvas Street pop art, an umbrella under which "The Tempest" finds a comfortable abode, is not merely an artistic expression but a conversation carved on the concrete canvas of public spaces. Peterson takes this dialogue to the exclusivity of fine art paper, bringing the rawness of the streets into the galleries and collections of art lovers. This transition is not just a physical one; it's a migration of ideas, a movement that brings the unrefined and often uncomfortable truths of graffiti artwork into a space that commands contemplation and discussion. Peterson's "The Tempest" allure is magnified by its rarity. In the art collection world, a piece's value is often tied to its scarcity. A limited edition of 30 ensures that only a few can claim ownership of this tangible slice of Peterson's vision. The meticulous process of hand-pulling each print and the high-quality paper choice elevate "The Tempest" from mere street art replication to a collectible piece of cultural significance. The collaboration with Louis Buhl & Co. for publication furthers this narrative, lending an air of prestige and ensuring the legacy of the artwork within the echelons of high art. Cleon Peterson's Challenge to the Viewer "The Tempest" is a challenge laid bare by Cleon Peterson. It's a gauntlet thrown at the feet of society, asking the viewer not just to observe but to engage with the underlying themes of strife and control. The dialogue initiated by this piece is a hallmark of street pop art and graffiti artwork, which have long been mediums for social and political discourse. Peterson's commitment to these themes is unwavering, and his ability to convey them through the silkscreen medium is a testament to his artist skill and understanding of his role as a provocateur in the art world. In conclusion, Cleon Peterson's "The Tempest" is a resonant piece that captures the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork through its thematic boldness and visual impact. The hand-pulled silkscreen on fine art paper, limited to a select thirty prints, transcends the boundaries of traditional street art to enter the realm of fine art collection while still retaining the raw, unfiltered dialogue that defines the genre. It is a piece that stands as a bridge between the ephemeral nature of graffiti and the lasting impact of fine art, a bridge that Peterson navigates with deft skill and audacious honesty.

Weapon Graffiti Street Pop Art

Weaponry in the Crosshairs of Street Pop Art and Graffiti

The presence of weapons in street pop art and graffiti carries a hefty load of symbolism and controversy. The very image of a weapon – be it a gun, a knife, or any implement associated with violence – is fraught with socio-political connotations that street artists often leverage to provoke, comment, and sometimes shock their audience. These artists have taken the powerful imagery of weapons and infused it with layers of meaning, transforming them from mere objects of destruction into potent symbols of critique and reflection. Weapons have been a common motif in both graffiti art and pop art. In both graffiti art and pop art, using weapons can be a powerful way to convey a message and provoke a reaction from the viewer. However, it's important to note that the use of violent imagery can also be controversial and can raise questions about the role of art in society. Graffiti artists often use guns, knives, and grenades to convey a sense of danger or rebellion. For example, a spray-painted image of a weapon might be used to represent the power or aggression of a particular person or group. Some graffiti artists have also used weapons to convey a political message. For instance, a mural featuring an AK-47 rifle might be used to criticize the proliferation of guns in society or to express solidarity with a particular political cause. In some cases, graffiti artists have used weapons as a form of commentary on the violence and conflict in the world. For example, a mural featuring a grenade might be used to critique the destructive nature of war or to advocate for peace. Pop artists have also incorporated weapons into their artwork. For instance, Andy Warhol's "Gun" series features images of various firearms, including revolvers and pistols. Roy Lichtenstein's painting "Whaam!" depicts a fighter jet firing a missile, emphasizing the violence and chaos of war. Some pop artists have used weapons to satirize consumer culture or to comment on the commodification of violence. For example, Claes Oldenburg's "Giant BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich)" features a knife skewering a sandwich, highlighting the absurdity of weaponizing everyday objects.

The Symbolic Arsenal of Street Art

Street artists have long employed the iconography of weapons to convey messages about power, conflict, and resistance. In their hands, weapons become a visual shorthand for a range of issues – from war and peace to crime and justice. Sometimes, the gun is depicted with stark realism, forcing those who encounter the piece to confront the realities of violence head-on. Other times, the weapon is abstracted or juxtaposed with unpredictable elements to create a sense of irony or to challenge the viewer's preconceptions. The use of firearms in graffiti art can directly reflect the artist's environment, where violence may be a daily reality. In cities plagued by crime and unrest, the appearance of weapon imagery in street art can mirror the community's experiences, a raw expression of the turmoil that residents may face. Conversely, in more peaceful or politically stable contexts, weapons in street art can serve as a jarring reminder of global conflicts, a call to action, or a protest against militarism and warfare.

Artists and the Weapon Motif

Some street artists have become particularly associated with the weapon motif, using it as a central theme to explore and challenge societal norms. These artists wield the weapon imagery with intention, repurposing it to critique the issues of aggression and oppression that such objects typically symbolize. The weapon becomes a tool not for violence but for its opposite – a plea for peace, a commentary on the human cost of conflict, or an ironic take on the glamorization of violence in media and culture. The weapon motif in street pop art and graffiti also confronts the viewer with questions about the role of force in justice and the dichotomy between societal order and personal liberty. Through these works, artists can spark discussions on topics that are often uncomfortable but necessary, such as gun control, police brutality, and the arms race. The art acts as a catalyst for dialogue and, at times, as a means to inspire change. The depiction of weapons in street pop art and graffiti transcends the mere representation of violence. These images serve as a vehicle for artists to engage with their audience on complex issues, question, condemn, and inspire. The weapon, with its inherent power and danger, becomes a paradoxical symbol of hope and transformation in the hands of street artists. As long as there are discussions to be had about power, conflict, and violence, weapons will undoubtedly continue to be a compelling and provocative element in the vocabulary of street pop art and graffiti.
