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, is the time we need to 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 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.”.

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.

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.

Pattern of Corruption Black Gold AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Cleon Peterson Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 2-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2015 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Repeating Image of Tribal Man With Bloody Knife and Lotus Flower Vine Pattern Silkscreen "Cleon Peterson and I recently collaborated on a mural in Miami’s Wynwood district and were happy enough with the end result to decide to make some limited edition screen prints inspired by the mural. Cleon and I both deal with the persistent themes of the fragility of society, human savagery, and corruption in our work. The image has a dichotomy in its hypnotic classical floral pattern with sinister elements woven into it, which caution the viewer to look deeper than an appealing surface presentation." - SHepard Fairey "Pattern of Corruption Black Gold" is a striking representation of the collaboration between two giants of the street art world, Shepard Fairey, best known for his OBEY campaign, and Cleon Peterson. As an AP Silkscreen print, this piece emphasizes the hand-crafted nature of their work, a detail that resonates deeply with enthusiasts of street and pop art. Shepard Fairey's iconic art has always challenged societal norms, provoking viewers to consider underlying complexities and contradictions present in contemporary society. Cleon Peterson, with his depictions of chaotic human interactions, similarly forces viewers to grapple with the darker underbelly of humanity. The inspiration behind this piece emerged from the mural the duo worked on together in Miami’s Wynwood district, a place renowned for its vibrant street art scene. It's evident in the AP Silkscreen print how their artistic styles and messages seamlessly intertwine. The meticulous detail of a tribal man brandishing a bloody knife juxtaposed with the lotus flower vine pattern invites introspection on the duality of human nature. The combination of tribal motifs with classical floral patterns not only alludes to a blending of the traditional with the contemporary but also serves as a cautionary tale. The surface beauty of the design may lure the viewer in, but as Fairey himself mentioned, the sinister undertones remind us to delve deeper and question the allure. A limited-edition release, with only 150 prints available, the artwork has achieved heightened significance among collectors and enthusiasts. The hand-pulled, two-color screen print on fine art paper stands as a testament to the dedication of the artists to their craft. The "Pattern of Corruption Black Gold" is not merely an artwork; it's a poignant commentary on society's fragility and the ever-present themes of corruption and human savagery, themes that both Fairey and Peterson have consistently explored in their works.

The days when our leaders looked out for the people's interests have become a thing of the past—replaced by the strong man who squashes the voices of dissent to set things straight. Money elects leaders; in return, they owe a debt to the people that put them in Power—enacting our new public policy of greed and gangster capitalism. We slowly accept corruption, Law slowly fades away, and people begin to feel like democracy and a fair and equitable society were always just an illusion, a dream from the past that never really even existed." -Cleon Peterson

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 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.

Promised Land Night Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson Hand-Pulled 2-Color Screen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper Hand DeckledLimited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 24x24 Renowned for his striking and confrontational style, Cleon Peterson is an artist whose work brings to life the undercurrents of societal strife and conflict. Known for his vivid depictions of brutal scenes that reflect a world in chaos, Peterson is widely recognized as a significant figure in the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. 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. True to Peterson's style, the work explores the darker facets of human nature in a dichromatic palette - typically a stark contrast of black and white or, in this case, dark navy blue and white. 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. The silkscreen print method, known for its bold, crisp lines and the ability to create vibrant, flat areas of color, serves Peterson's style perfectly. 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.
