Year 2017 Class Art Print Status Official Run 150 Technique Screen Print Paper 250gsm Coventry Rag Size 28" x 28" Markings Signed & Numbered 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.

  • Trump 2017 Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Cleon Peterson Trump 2017 Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Trump 2017 Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson Hand-Pulled 2-Color Screen Print on Coventry Rag Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2017 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 175 Artwork Size 27.5x36 The "Trump 2017" silkscreen print by Cleon Peterson is a compelling example of how the aesthetic of street pop art and graffiti can be distilled into a limited edition artwork. This hand-pulled screen print, produced in a restricted quantity of 175, is a testament to Peterson's raw and graphic style that often conveys themes of chaos, order, and the complexities of human struggle. Executed on premium Coventry Rag Paper, this 27.5x36 inch artwork is part of a series that Cleon Peterson is known for – stark, two-tone compositions that explore power structures and societal divisions. The limited color palette of black and gold not only enhances the visual drama of the piece but also imbues it with a sense of ancient regality, reminiscent of Grecian pottery that often depicted mythological tales of gods and mortals. In "Trump 2017", Peterson adapts the classical form of the amphora, using it as a canvas to present contemporary narratives that reflect on the state of the world in 2017. The figures, entangled in acts that may be interpreted as either conflict or cooperation, are signature elements of Peterson's work, which does not shy away from controversy or discomfort. Each character within the print appears engaged in a narrative much more significant than themselves, speaking to the viewer with a confrontational gaze demanding contemplation and reflection. As a piece of street pop art, "Trump 2017" carries the spirit of graffiti from the walls to the world of fine art collecting. Signed and numbered by the artist, this print is a piece of history, capturing the essence of its time in a format that challenges and bridges the divide between public art and collectible commodities. Peterson's work, particularly this print, resonates within the art community as a bold statement of the tumultuous times it represents.
