Gauntlet Gallery — Complete Cleon Peterson Print Index
Between The Sun And Moon 2 (White)
Summary
The second work in the "Between The Sun And Moon" series, a 12 x 16 inch hand-pulled black-and-bone screen print from 2021 on 290gsm Coventry Rag with deckled edges. Self-released in a signed and numbered edition of 125, it complements its predecessor while shifting orientation, extending Peterson's quieter tonal exploration.
Why It Matters
As the companion to the first "Between The Sun And Moon" print, this work completes a small paired statement. The shared black-and-bone palette and 125 edition size link the two, while the format offers a counterpoint that lets collectors hang the series as a coordinated set within Peterson's more restrained color territory.
Collector Perspective
Collectors assembling the two-part series will want this alongside its predecessor for a complete pairing. At a compact 12 x 16 inches it frames easily and suits smaller walls. Signed and numbered in an edition of 125, it matches the availability and production standard of the first print in the pair.
Historical Context
Sequential and paired editions recur throughout Peterson's practice as a way to explore a single idea across multiple sheets. The 2021 self-released "Between The Sun And Moon" works on Coventry Rag show him applying that serial approach to his subtler, near-monochrome palette rather than his high-contrast confrontational imagery.

About the Artist
Cleon Peterson (born 1973, Seattle) is an American artist known for stark, high-contrast compositions depicting scenes of violence, power, and social conflict. Working primarily in a limited palette — often black on a single bold ground — he renders chaotic tableaux of figures locked in struggle, exploring themes of authority, brutality, and moral disorder in contemporary society. His graphic, almost hieroglyphic style has appeared in paintings, murals, and a substantial catalogue of signed prints, as well as collaborations spanning fashion and public art. He is based in Los Angeles.
