Gauntlet Gallery — Complete Cleon Peterson Print Index
Between The Sun And Moon (White)
Summary
A 16 x 12 inch hand-pulled screen print from 2021 in black and bone, printed on 290gsm Coventry Rag with deckled edges. Self-released in a signed and numbered edition of 125, its intimate scale and muted bone-tone ground make it one of the quieter, more restrained works in Peterson's self-published output.
Why It Matters
The black-and-bone palette departs from Peterson's more familiar red and yellow schemes, offering a subdued, near-monochrome register. As the first of a numbered two-part "Between The Sun And Moon" series, it establishes a small-format pairing that rewards collectors who value his work in more contemplative color keys.
Collector Perspective
At 16 x 12 inches this is an approachable, easily framed size, well suited to collectors starting with Peterson or seeking a work for tighter spaces. It pairs naturally with "Between The Sun And Moon 2." The signed and numbered edition of 125 keeps it within his standard availability band.
Historical Context
The sun-and-moon motif taps a timeless symbolic duality that Peterson recasts through his graphic vocabulary. His 2021 self-released prints on Coventry Rag reflect a maturing studio practice in which smaller, quieter editions sit alongside his large statement works, broadening the range of his catalogue.

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.
