Cleon Peterson is a contemporary American artist known for his powerful and provocative works that explore themes of violence, power dynamics, and societal conflict. Born in 1973, Peterson's art is characterized by bold contrasts, intense color palettes, and dramatic scenes often featuring stylized figures engaged in chaotic and aggressive acts. His visually arresting compositions draw inspiration from classical Greek art, historical propaganda, and modern street art. Peterson's signature style often depicts scenes of struggle and dominance, challenging viewers to confront the darker aspects of human nature. The artist's work is a commentary on power structures, social hierarchies, and the human condition. With a background in both graffiti and fine art, Cleon Peterson has become a notable figure in contemporary art, exhibiting his pieces globally and leaving a lasting impact with his thought-provoking and visceral creations.

Cleon Peterson
Cleon Peterson’s bold, stylized paintings and prints depict a world of brute, authoritarian violence and caustic debauchery. The artist draws on fine-art influences such as Leon Golub and Paul McCarthy, as well as the aesthetics of Greek pottery, graphic design, and political propaganda posters. His striking compositions feature characters packed into dense, kinetic scenes of high-contrast conflict. Peterson works with a spare color palette, often limiting himself to black, white, red, and yellow. He received his MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art before going on to exhibit in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Paris, San Francisco, and beyond. His work has fetched five-figure prices on the secondary market. By explicitly depicting acts of violence, Peterson hopes to highlight the overreach of authoritarian power in contemporary society.
