The Wanderer
Work Summary & Collector Notes
"The Wanderer" is a 2025 self-released, hand-pulled screen print on 290gsm Coventry Rag with deckled edges, measuring a square 20 x 20 inches in an edition of 50. The title evokes the solitary figure, a motif that connects to Peterson's ongoing exploration of movement, isolation, and the individual set against a hostile world.

Why It Matters
Where much of Peterson's output stages collective violence, "The Wanderer" foregrounds a lone protagonist, offering a quieter, more introspective register. Issued directly by the artist at a larger 20 x 20 format and held to just 50 impressions, it is a focused image that departs from the crowded mob compositions collectors know him for.
Collector Perspective
The square 20 x 20 sheet presents well framed and the edition of 50 keeps supply tight. On deckled Coventry Rag, condition of the raw edges matters to purists. As a self-released 2025 work, buyers should rely on the artist's edition numbering and release documentation as the primary provenance record.
Historical Context
Released in 2025, "The Wanderer" sits within Peterson's broader body of work on conflict and the human figure. The lone-traveler theme carries long art-historical weight, and here it is rendered in the artist's contemporary graphic idiom, translating an age-old subject into his stark, high-contrast visual language.
