Classic of Cleon Peterson is his depiction of a world where the reality is chaotic, devious, and violent. With an aesthetic rooted as graphic designer and a style reminiscent of Greco-Roman vases, his monochromatic figures narrate apocalyptic imagery such as police brutality, stabbings, and strangulation. Many of those scenes have featured malevolent characters with physical appearances undifferentiated from one another, reduced facial features and whose motions are calculated, their postures balanced, athletic and mechanical. Their victims appear defenseless and in shock, wearing expressions of horror. Peterson’s paintings suggest a classless unsympathetic society and an authoritatively ordered world where evil is the victor of all circumstance. 9 separate prints together create the full image.
