Work Summary & Collector Notes
Full Of Hate & Hoodwinked is a 2025 first-edition set of two hand-pulled screen prints self-released by Cleon Peterson, each 13.5 x 18 inches on 290gsm Coventry Rag paper with deckled edges, in a limited edition of 50 and sold together. The pair is accompanied by an artist statement on truth, distraction, and the exhaustion of the attention economy.

Why It Matters
This set is unusually text-forward for Peterson, arriving with his own extended reflection on "an attention economy fueled by post-truth narratives, radical spectacle, and a constant churn of noise." The paired titles "Full Of Hate" and "Hoodwinked" name the twin conditions of that landscape — rage and deception — making it one of his most explicitly articulated political statements.
Collector Perspective
At an edition of 50, this set is tighter than Peterson's 75-count 2025 pairings, giving it a modest scarcity edge among his companion sets. The accompanying artist statement adds documentary and interpretive value. Collectors should confirm both prints are present, verify matching numbering out of 50, and inspect the deckled edges on each Coventry Rag sheet.
Historical Context
The artist statement anchors this set firmly in the mid-2020s discourse on post-truth media, disengagement, and the fight for shared reality. It joins Peterson's other 2025 diptych sets as part of a sustained body of work using paired brutalist imagery to interrogate how truth and power circulate through a saturated information environment.
