Why It Matters
The explicit title distills Peterson's core theme, retribution and predatory violence, into three words. At 42 inches square in an edition of only 50, it stands among his most physically and thematically forceful gallery-published prints, where anonymous figures enact the cycles of harm that define his practice.
Collector Perspective
Sharing the format and edition size of "To Tell The Truth," this print pairs naturally with it as a large-scale Over The Influence release. The edition of 50, heavy 320gsm stock, and hand signature make it a scarce, well-documented centerpiece. Its blunt title and monumental footprint appeal to collectors of Peterson's most direct statements.
Historical Context
Published in 2018 during Peterson's expansion into gallery editions, "Out For Blood" carries forward the artist's long engagement with violence as social language, rooted in his earlier work and shaped by a graphic sensibility drawn from punk, graffiti, and classical friezes of combat rendered in flat black and white.
