Cleon Peterson

Cleon Peterson is one of those legendary street artists who has now made the move into other art disciplines. Although he thus also remains attracted to metre-high walls. The American is visibly influenced by Greco-Roman art and, just like a few millennia ago, he often seeks refuge in violence and sex. However, Peterson draws equally on the likes of Caravaggio and Goya for this, as well as in what he says is one-sided, heroic coverage of geopolitical and social conflicts. His work for The Crystal Ship came about with the help of Belgian street artists Kitsuné and Lobster.
