"Burning The Dead Red" is a powerful silkscreen print by artist Cleon Peterson, known for his distinctive approach to street pop art and graffiti artwork. This piece, released in 2016, is a limited edition artwork with only 150 signed and numbered pieces in circulation. Crafted on 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper, it measures 43.5x17 inches and features hand-deckled edges contributing to its unique aesthetic. The print depicts a scene of figures engaged in what appears to be a ceremonial act, set against a stark, contrasting red backdrop. The artwork's bold lines and dynamic composition are emblematic of Peterson's style, which often explores themes of chaos, disorder, and the struggle for power within societal structures. As a visual narrative, "Burning The Dead Red" challenges viewers to confront the darker aspects of human nature and the complexities of social hierarchies. This piece is a testament to Peterson's ability to harness street art's raw, expressive energy and translate it into finely crafted silkscreen prints that resonate with contemporary socio-political discourse.
