Blood and Soil introduces a new body of work which intends to reconcile our violent history with present-day violence prevalent across the country. With his skillful, strange, and unforgettable large figurative tableaux, Cleon Peterson forcefully translates the consciousness of carnage and chaos, issuing a powerful indictment against universal violence, past, and present.
Featuring 48 works from Peterson's 2018 exhibition, Blood and Soil, and 12 paintings from Truth and Lies (2020).
