Cleon Peterson will soon release new print editions featuring an original artwork entitled STEP INTO THE NIGHT. The LA-based artist’s latest composition features his iconic representation of minimalist forms that appear to stab each other with blood drips from swords. With these violent subjects, Peterson aims to explore the evil nature of mankind that feeds off dark emotions spanning abuse of power, sex, addiction, among other vices.

STEP INTO THE NIGHT will release June 6 at 10 a.m. PST on Cleon Peterson’s online shop. Releasing in editions of 75, each piece is hand-pulled at 58 x 20 inches on black screen print and offered in red/black, red, and black variants for $450 USD each.
