Work Summary & Collector Notes
The light variant of Peterson's 2016 self-released screen print, a large 28 by 28 inch square hand pulled in black and gold on 290gsm Coventry Rag paper with deckled edges. The edition is limited to 125, each impression signed and numbered by the artist. The square format and radiant gold give the composition an emblematic, sun-facing symmetry.

Why It Matters
The square 28 inch sheet is one of Peterson's more commanding self-released formats, and the black-and-gold pairing is his signature palette at its most iconic. Into The Sun frames struggle against a solar motif, lending the piece a mythic scale that suits its size and metallic ink.
Collector Perspective
Large squares present well and demand wall presence, making this a display-forward choice within the catalog. The gold layer rewards in-person viewing. At 125 with a self-released provenance, the artist's signature and hand numbering carry authentication; deckled edges and clean gold registration define condition quality.
Historical Context
In 2016 Peterson leaned into monumental square compositions that read as modern heraldry. The sun as backdrop recalls classical and propaganda imagery alike, which he weaponizes to stage his recurring theme of dominance, here elevated into an almost cosmic arena of light and shadow.
