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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
