The Jaunt #100 (Dawn)
Summary
A 2023 silkscreen print produced with The Jaunt, the traveling artist-residency project, as its 100th edition in the "Dawn" colorway. Measuring roughly 50 x 70 cm in an edition of 50, signed and numbered by the artist, it is Peterson's contribution to a well-known series born from artist travel.
Why It Matters
Unlike his self-released prints, this was published through The Jaunt, whose editions are tied to the concept of travel-inspired work and are collected as a coherent numbered series. Being the 100th release gives it a milestone position within that program, and the small edition of 50 makes it notably tighter than Peterson's studio runs.
Collector Perspective
The Jaunt provenance is a meaningful distinction, appealing to collectors who follow that publisher's series and its milestone numbers such as this 100th edition. At an edition of only 50, signed and numbered, it is scarcer than most of Peterson's self-released prints and carries the added collectibility of an established third-party imprint.
Historical Context
The Jaunt sends artists on trips and publishes a limited print inspired by the experience, building a running catalog of contemporary editions. Peterson's participation places his stark figuration within that framework, and the metric 50 x 70 cm sizing reflects the project's European publishing context rather than his usual inch dimensions.

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.
