Mark Lanegan 60 White Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson on Hand Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Cleon Peterson Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 15x24 Silkscreen Print. "This print is a tribute to my friend, Mark Lanegan, released in honor of his 60th birthday. I’ll never forget our walks through the light and dark" -Cleon Peterson A Tribute to Mark Lanegan’s Influence Cleon Peterson, an American artist, created this limited edition silkscreen print as a celebration of friendship and creative inspiration. The piece honors Mark William Lanegan, an American singer from the United States who passed away on February 22, 2022. It is intended as a symbolic homage on what would have been Lanegan’s 60th birthday, capturing both the spirit of his music and the bond shared with Peterson. The composition features vivid red flames, a devil-like figure, and a looming human silhouette, all arranged against a clean white background. These elements evoke an interplay of dark and light themes that are familiar to admirers of Lanegan’s evocative artistic persona. Peterson’s style often delves into conflict, tension, and the human psyche. This print channels that approach through intense contrasts and symbolic positioning of figures. Viewers are drawn to the swirling red shapes that frame the central subject, as if referencing passionate creativity and the turbulent journeys that can shape a musician’s path. Despite the stark color palette, the details remain bold yet minimal, prompting those who see it to reflect on personal battles, triumphs, and the lasting impact of influential artists. Symbolism and Visual Dynamics The 15x24-inch format provides ample space for the dramatic interplay of silhouettes and vibrant hues. The devil-like figure on the left clutches the black shape representing a human form, suggesting a struggle with internal or external forces. Red flames dance around them, hinting at transformative experiences. Peterson’s characteristic approach to color and contrast emerges vividly, making the artwork eye-catching while hinting at deeper layers of meaning. The piece is printed on hand deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper, giving each edition a delicate edge and artisan feel. This physical quality aligns with the emotionally charged subject matter, reinforcing how art can capture both intangible memory and tangible craftsmanship. The red and black imagery echoes aspects of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where bold lines, stark contrasts, and simplified forms deliver powerful messages without the need for elaborate detail. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Inspirations Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork themes resonate strongly in Peterson’s prints, and this piece continues that tradition. Observers familiar with urban art often appreciate how the print’s flat planes and intense outlines create a dynamic statement reminiscent of public murals or bold graffiti tags. Elements of subversive energy, common in street-based art forms, echo through the stylized flames and exaggerated demon figure. The layout underscores a sense of confrontation and collaboration between opposing forces. This duality mirrors how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can be both visually arresting and socially engaging. By bridging personal narratives and symbolic imagery, Peterson’s work remains connected to the underground sensibilities that inform his larger body of creations, merging a refined process with raw thematic concerns. A Timeless Limited Edition Produced as a 2024 signed and numbered edition of 100, the Mark Lanegan 60 White Silkscreen Print has quickly drawn the attention of collectors who value both its emotional resonance and artistic sophistication.

This print represents a slice of contemporary art that has roots in personal memory and universal themes of struggle and redemption. Peterson’s decision to dedicate a work to Lanegan conveys the deep respect and admiration shared among fellow artists.

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.

Marchers Black 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 Black by Cleon Peterson – Limited Edition Silkscreen in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Marchers Black is a 2016 hand-pulled 2-color silkscreen print by Cleon Peterson, an American artist acclaimed for his stark allegories of violence, dominance, and control. This limited edition work is printed on 13 x 34 inch deckled fine art paper and was released in an edition of 125, each one signed and numbered by the artist. The image features six identical, stylized figures walking in strict formation, each with a sword slung over the shoulder. The figures are rendered in gold on a deep matte black background, emphasizing their ritualistic presence and evoking both ancient procession and modern conformity. The figures’ nudity, musculature, and uniform posture strip them of individual identity, instead casting them as instruments of institutional force, frozen in a silent parade of aggression. Conformity, Power, and the Aesthetic of Ritual In Marchers Black, Cleon Peterson isolates the mechanisms of systemic violence and repetition. The identical figures advance in step, their gestures calm yet loaded with menace. The blood-smeared blades on their backs are symbolic rather than graphic, suggesting not the moment of action but the aftermath—the silent normalization of brutality. The lack of expression or differentiation among the figures speaks to the erasure of individuality under oppressive structures, whether they be military, political, or societal. Their forward momentum, fixed and unrelenting, reads as both a march toward power and a descent into complicity. The black background serves not just as negative space but as psychological weight, amplifying the intensity of the gold silhouettes and enforcing a sense of visual and emotional gravity. Cleon Peterson’s Signature Themes in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Cleon Peterson is a leading voice in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, known for merging graphic minimalism with confrontational narratives. His compositions channel ancient mural traditions, propaganda design, and dystopian storytelling into modern allegories. Marchers Black exemplifies this approach by simplifying form to maximize meaning. While many artists in the genre celebrate rebellion, Peterson exposes the systems behind it—the hierarchies, the ritualistic cycles of violence, the role of submission in maintaining order. His work is not decorative but declarative, challenging viewers to confront the undercurrents of cruelty that persist beneath polished surfaces. Marchers Black is not a depiction of chaos, but of order so rigid it becomes inhuman. It visualizes the seduction and horror of control through the repetition of figures whose purpose is not to question, but to obey. Material Execution and Collector Impact Printed on premium deckled fine art paper using a two-layer silkscreen process, Marchers Black merges street aesthetics with refined printmaking tradition. The gold pigment contrasts dramatically against the matte black background, delivering a visual impact that echoes the thematic weight of the piece. Each print is hand-pulled and signed by Cleon Peterson, reinforcing its position as a deliberate and enduring object. As a limited edition of 125, it holds significant value for collectors interested in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that critiques systems of power without relying on spectacle. Marchers Black is both a visual mantra and a warning—documenting the quiet march of institutional violence, masked in symmetry, strength, and silence.

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. Would you like write-ups for any of Peterson’s other prints or projects?

Sirens Of The Night White by Cleon Peterson – 1-Color Silkscreen in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Sirens Of The Night White is a 2022 hand-pulled silkscreen print by American artist Cleon Peterson, known for his graphic depictions of violence, power, and resistance. This limited edition artwork measures 24 x 18 inches and is printed on 290gsm Coventry rag paper with deckled edges, combining street-level symbolism with fine art craftsmanship. Limited to 100 signed and numbered prints, the piece features a dynamic white silhouette of a nude woman on horseback, swinging a golden sword amidst a storm of jagged, electrified forms. The figure, both elegant and commanding, charges forward against a pitch-black backdrop, surrounded by lightning-like patterns that suggest chaos, rage, and transformation. The striking use of white and gold on black intensifies the impact of the composition, transforming a classical equestrian pose into a modern mythology of power and defiance. Feminine Force and Symbolic Weaponry In Sirens Of The Night White, Peterson reimagines the female form not as a passive muse but as an active embodiment of disruption. The central figure rides bareback, sword raised, poised in a moment of deliberate motion. Her nudity does not imply vulnerability but instead emphasizes fearlessness and purity of purpose. The minimal linework allows the viewer to focus on the rhythm and energy of the pose, while the controlled use of gold in the sword and lightning accents infuses the piece with spiritual and revolutionary undertones. The storm that surrounds her is not one of destruction but of awakening, a visual metaphor for resistance in the face of oppressive structures. Her presence becomes a call to arms, confronting viewers with a raw form of feminine agency rarely seen in such stylized modern iconography. Cleon Peterson’s Allegorical Combat in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Cleon Peterson is a Los Angeles-based artist whose work addresses themes of brutality, lawlessness, and the collapse of social order. Through minimalist, silhouette-based figures often caught in ritualistic violence, he creates a visual world where power is always contested and morality is ambiguous. Sirens Of The Night White continues his exploration of domination and rebellion but through a more mythic lens. Within the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Peterson’s aesthetic pulls from ancient reliefs, propaganda posters, and graphic design, reconfiguring them into stark allegories for the modern psyche. His visual narratives reject the sanitized optimism of traditional pop art, instead embracing the darker currents that shape contemporary life. This print stands as a meditation on both destruction and rebirth—told not through words, but through form, color, and motion. Print Quality and Collector Value This silkscreen edition is meticulously printed on heavyweight 290gsm Coventry rag paper, a premium surface known for its durability and rich texture. The deckled edges give each print a handmade, archival quality that reinforces its position as fine art.

TRUTH- What Have We Lost Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of XXX 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, 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.”. 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.

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.

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.

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.
