Money and Power- White Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Arches Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 18x18 "Money and Power have become primary drivers in the modern world, pushing us toward a corrupt society. 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 Money and Power by Cleon Peterson – White Edition of a Stark Political Allegory in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power by Cleon Peterson is a 2022 signed and numbered hand-pulled silkscreen print, produced in a limited edition of 75. Measuring 18x18 inches and printed in black ink on pristine white 290gsm Arches rag paper with hand-deckled edges, this piece delivers a powerful statement using minimalism to reveal the mechanics of authoritarian control and capitalist dominance. The design features three militarized figures marching in unison beneath a dollar-sign emblazoned banner. Each figure salutes with one hand while gripping a weapon in the other, marching in lockstep toward a future defined not by democracy or justice, but by obedience to power shaped through wealth. The precision of the stark black-on-white imagery reinforces the rigidity and dehumanization portrayed, highlighting the shift from collective governance to capitalist-driven authoritarianism. Cleon Peterson’s American Vision of Modern Power Structures Cleon Peterson, an American artist born in 1973, is renowned for his distinctive graphic style that merges the brutal directness of street art with a pop art sensibility. His works are not decorative—they are confrontational, morally urgent, and reflective of systemic violence. Money and Power exemplifies Peterson’s ability to distill complex socio-political realities into singular, unforgettable images. This white edition removes any distraction and allows the viewer to focus entirely on the content and message. The absence of color echoes the perceived erasure of nuance in modern governance, where decisions are no longer dictated by ethical considerations but by financial allegiance. Peterson uses his background in design and graffiti to strip down the message to its essence—those who control money control the message, the law, and the people. Symbolism of Marching Figures and the Banner of Capital The figures in Money and Power are reduced to symbols of conformity and control. With robotic movements and identical expressions, they act not as protectors of the public, but as agents of a system that prioritizes wealth preservation over civic duty. The gun in each hand is not just a weapon—it is a metaphor for the threat that sustains the hierarchy. The saluting gesture, typically a sign of honor or loyalty, is here rendered as a chilling submission to corrupt ideology. Above them, the banner with a dollar sign takes the place of national or moral symbols, declaring money as the new flag under which modern societies march. This image captures what Peterson describes as gangster capitalism—an economy and government fused into a singular corrupt force that erodes public agency and the very foundation of democracy. Money and Power as a Landmark of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork This edition of Money and Power exists as both a work of fine art and a political poster, calling attention to the social decay born of greed and power consolidation. It stands firmly within the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, using accessible imagery to convey truths that are often ignored or downplayed in institutional settings. Peterson’s decision to limit the edition to 75 hand-pulled prints adds gravity to its message, making each piece a personal call to awareness and resistance. As street art evolved from rebellion to collectible, artists like Peterson have held firm to the medium’s roots—using public-facing visuals to voice dissent. This piece does not seek to comfort or beautify, but to warn. It captures a world where money no longer funds democracy but replaces it, revealing a cycle where power begets power and the people are simply marched along.

Money and Power- Yellow Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Arches Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 18x18 "Money and Power have become primary drivers in the modern world, pushing us toward a corrupt society. 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 Money and Power by Cleon Peterson – Yellow Edition Silkscreen Print in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power by Cleon Peterson is a visually forceful hand-pulled 1-color silkscreen print produced in a striking yellow edition. Created in 2022 as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 75, this 18x18 inch artwork is printed on 290gsm Arches rag paper with hand-deckled edges, reinforcing its raw and crafted authenticity. Set against a saturated yellow background, the black silhouettes of uniformed figures march in unison beneath a banner marked with a dollar sign. This aggressive formation of faceless, weapon-bearing agents symbolizes how capital and authority have become intertwined forces shaping modern life. The contrast of black on yellow sharpens the urgency of the message, evoking caution signs and industrial warnings, reflecting the dangers of unchecked power. It is a bold statement, stark and deliberately unambiguous in its critique of political and economic systems. Cleon Peterson’s Visual Protest Against Gangster Capitalism American artist Cleon Peterson, born in 1973, has become known for creating art that exposes the mechanics of dominance, submission, and systemic violence. In Money and Power, Peterson addresses what he terms gangster capitalism—the merging of financial interest and authoritarianism. This yellow edition is not merely an aesthetic variation; it magnifies the intensity of the warning. The figures are rendered without individuality, acting not as civil servants or protectors but as enforcers of a corrupt economic order. Each character, with one hand saluting and the other gripping a firearm, marches without deviation under a banner where money is the emblem. Peterson’s use of militarized repetition critiques the dehumanization that occurs when loyalty is bought and dissent is extinguished by force. The visual simplicity masks a deeply complex message: society has drifted from democratic ideals into a structure where the value of life is weighed against the price of power. Symbolism and Execution in the Yellow Silkscreen Edition This edition’s choice of yellow background plays a crucial role in reinforcing the thematic content. Yellow, typically associated with visibility and warning, brings a harsh clarity to the disturbing unity of the figures. It forces the viewer to confront the image directly, without distraction or ambiguity. The hand-pulled technique and 1-color silkscreen process ensure that each print carries the physical presence of the artist’s vision, resisting digital detachment. Hand-deckled paper adds an organic imperfection that contrasts with the mechanical rigidity of the marchers, underscoring the tension between individual craftsmanship and institutional conformity. The entire composition operates as a visual manifesto, presenting a world where money is not simply a tool but a banner under which violence, obedience, and corruption are normalized. Money and Power as a Defining Work in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power belongs squarely in the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. It communicates political urgency through direct visual language, staying rooted in the protest origins of graffiti and the bold iconography of pop art. Peterson’s work challenges systems of authority by confronting viewers with uncomfortable truths, using art not for decoration but for disruption. This yellow edition distills contemporary disillusionment into one unforgettable image, showing how democracy erodes when capital becomes the highest power. As with all of Peterson’s most impactful works, it does not ask for quiet reflection—it demands awareness and accountability. It stands as a limited yet forceful artifact of protest, frozen in print but echoing across modern political consciousness.

Measuring 18 x 18 inches, the work is signed and numbered in a limited edition of 90 and was released through BLK/MRKT Editions. Rendered in Peterson’s stark palette of black, red, and white, the composition depicts figures locked in violent motion, suspended in a chaotic scene that feels both theatrical and brutal. Violence, Power, and Moral Collapse This piece sits squarely within Peterson’s ongoing exploration of power dynamics, cruelty, and human conflict. The faceless or mask-like figures appear interchangeable, emphasizing systems of violence rather than individual identity. There is no clear hero or victim, only cycles of aggression and domination. The title, The Passions 2, evokes classical and religious connotations, yet Peterson subverts them, replacing transcendence with raw instinct and social breakdown. The forest-like backdrop adds an almost mythic setting, suggesting a return to primal behavior beneath the veneer of civilization. Cleon Peterson’s Visual Language and Legacy Cleon Peterson is widely recognized for his uncompromising visual language that draws from propaganda art, ancient friezes, and modern graphic design. His use of limited color and flat silhouettes creates immediate impact while reinforcing the emotional severity of the subject matter.

This print remains a strong example of his early editions, valued for both its rarity and its clear articulation of the themes that continue to define his practice.

Marchers White Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson 2 Color Hand-Pulled on Deckled Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 125 Artwork Size 13x34 Silkscreen Print of Tribal Men Carrying Bloody Swords Marching In Line. Marchers White by Cleon Peterson – Limited Edition Silkscreen in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Marchers White is a 2016 hand-pulled 2-color silkscreen print by American artist Cleon Peterson. This signed and numbered limited edition of 125 was printed on deckled fine art paper and measures 13 x 34 inches. It features a procession of six stylized, muscular figures in a uniform line, each carrying a blood-streaked sword draped across their shoulders. The artwork is a graphic portrayal of conformity and violence, rendered in Peterson’s iconic flattened silhouette style. With clean lines and bold simplicity, the figures march in lockstep across a stark white background, forming a visual rhythm that mimics propaganda friezes and ancient relief carvings. The use of gold and red ink intensifies the contrast between elegance and brutality, a hallmark of Peterson’s visual language. Symbolism of Power, Violence, and Uniformity In Marchers White, Peterson explores the mechanization of power and the erosion of individuality within systems of control. Each figure appears identical, stripped of personal identity and locked in a hypnotic march. The red-tipped blades suggest recent violence or continuous bloodshed, reinforcing the idea that aggression has become routine, even ceremonial. The figures’ nudity, stylized musculature, and emotionless posture evoke primal force restrained within a ritual of obedience. The repeated form not only recalls ancient military parades or mythic processions, but also comments on contemporary structures of state, surveillance, and oppression. The absence of background or contextual setting forces viewers to focus entirely on the figures and their choreography, placing the act of violence and conformity at the center of the narrative. Cleon Peterson’s Allegorical Voice in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Cleon Peterson is known internationally for creating visual allegories that depict lawlessness, domination, and moral inversion. His works pull from classical art history, political propaganda, and modern editorial illustration to construct a world in collapse—where traditional boundaries between good and evil are blurred. Marchers White reflects Peterson’s ongoing examination of systemic violence and institutional complicity. While minimal in execution, the work functions as a complex statement on the banality of authoritarianism. It belongs squarely within the lineage of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, as it utilizes bold, graphic style to engage in socio-political critique. Peterson does not romanticize rebellion or glorify power—instead, he presents viewers with unfiltered snapshots of a dystopian order wrapped in seductive aesthetics. Printmaking Technique and Collector Value The Marchers White edition is crafted with the precision and attention to detail that characterizes Cleon Peterson’s fine art practice. Printed using a 2-color silkscreen method on heavyweight deckled fine art paper, the physical quality of the piece matches its conceptual weight. The crisp edges of the figures and the subtle texture of the ink application reflect a high standard of printmaking. Each print is individually signed and numbered, securing its authenticity and positioning it as a significant work within Peterson’s catalog. For collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Marchers White stands as a poignant artifact of modern discontent—a visually arresting and politically charged piece that underscores the silent march of violence accepted as structure.

Absolute Power, released in 2018, is a hand pulled silkscreen print produced on deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper. Measuring approximately 26 x 34 inches, the edition is limited to 150 and each print is signed and numbered by the artist. Peterson’s work is defined by flattened silhouettes, restricted color palettes, and confrontational imagery that strips human conflict down to symbolic extremes. Through disciplined screen printing and high contrast composition, Absolute Power reinforces his reputation as a leading contemporary voice in politically charged Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Inverted Authority and Stark Political Symbolism The composition presents an upside down suited figure suspended in a field of red, black, and white, evoking themes of overturned authority and destabilized power structures. In the background, architectural forms resembling government institutions appear alongside barren trees and stark landscape elements, intensifying the atmosphere of institutional critique. The limited palette amplifies the emotional force of the imagery, allowing negative space and silhouette to carry the narrative weight. Peterson’s approach draws on the visual immediacy associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where simplified forms and bold contrasts deliver direct commentary without reliance on intricate detail. The inversion of the central figure functions as a visual metaphor for corrupted leadership and the precarious nature of control. Limited Edition Craftsmanship in Contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Absolute Power is printed on heavyweight Coventry Rag paper with deckled edges, reinforcing its status as a refined fine art multiple rather than a mass produced reproduction. The hand pulled silkscreen process ensures dense ink saturation and crisp edges, hallmarks of Peterson’s meticulous production standards.

Police Shooting Black Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson on Hand Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2015 Signed & Numbered Cleon Peterson Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 14x18 Silkscreen Print. Cleon Peterson's 2015 Silkscreen Print “Police Shooting Black” – A Stark Voice in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Cleon Peterson’s 2015 limited edition silkscreen print titled Police Shooting Black is a powerful example of politically charged Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that holds nothing back. Printed on hand-deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper, this 14 x 18 inch piece was released in a signed and numbered edition of 150. The print is rendered in stark black silhouette, showing a faceless police officer mid-strike over a defenseless figure on the ground. Peterson employs a style that is instantly recognizable—clean, aggressive, and intentionally stripped of detail to focus entirely on the narrative of power, submission, and societal conflict. It is more than a commentary. It is a visual confrontation. Cleon Peterson: American Artist With a Vision Rooted in Violence and Power Dynamics Cleon Peterson was born in 1973 in the United States and continues to create work that deeply engages with themes of chaos, institutional abuse, and systemic violence. A former street artist who has also worked in illustration and fashion, Peterson often centers his practice around the representation of violent struggle. His works are filled with archetypal figures that reenact the brutal power plays of modern society. Police Shooting Black stands out in his body of work not only for its limited edition fine art format but for its focused depiction of racialized police violence. It is not an ambiguous image. The figures speak with immediacy, channeling real-world incidents into high-contrast allegory. The facelessness of both the oppressor and the oppressed creates a disturbing universality, implicating systems rather than individuals. The Visual Economy of Violence in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork This print carries forward the street-level urgency found in graffiti while leveraging the formal control of screenprinting and gallery presentation. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork often borrows visual language from commercial signage, propaganda, and rebellion, and Peterson’s work is no exception. The figures are iconographic, each line intentional, each silhouette loaded with symbolic weight. Peterson reduces the image to its emotional and psychological core, amplifying the sense of dehumanization and systemic brutality. The use of black-and-white further enforces the emotional starkness while refusing to distract with color. Every inch of the composition is confrontational and calculated to provoke response, conversation, and discomfort. Coventry Rag Paper and Silkscreen Technique as Mediums of Resistance The use of 290gsm Coventry Rag paper—known for its archival quality and textured surface—adds gravity and permanence to what might otherwise feel like a transitory protest image. Silkscreen printing, traditionally used in mass production, is elevated here as a fine art method, offering precision and boldness while still invoking its underground and street origins. Peterson’s choice of material and medium serves to highlight the duality in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork: existing between gallery walls and political walls, between collectability and dissent. Each print is hand-deckled, giving it an edge—literally and figuratively—that speaks to the raw emotion and crafted message embedded in the work.
