Cleon Peterson “Daybreak” At New Image Art Gallery
We told you about this a little while ago, and now we’re giving you a friendly reminder. Tomorrow night, Saturday November 20th, New Image Art Gallery will open Cleon Peterson’s “Daybreak.” Here’s the info from the press release:
“In Cleon Peterson’s “Daybreak,” shadowy figures mete out violence in images that could just as well depict justice as they do barbarity. ““Daybreak” can be viewed as both a continuation and a progression of Peterson’s past works, in which graphically rendered scenes of sadism portray chaos as the inevitable order of things. Many of those scenes have featured characters with physical appearances largely undifferentiated from one another, suggesting a classless unsympathetic society, yet in this new body of work Peterson incorporates “shadow” figures and a new dichotomous order. There are haves and have-nots, but amid the havoc it’s hard to decide who’s who.”
