Cleon Peterson

A desktop view of an artist portfolio page featuring a large, high-contrast black and white painting of stylized human figures in a landscape. Large, bold serif typography on the left side lists the artist's name, exhibition title, and navigation links like 'PROJECTS' and 'STORE'. The layout is minimalist with a white background and significant negative space.

The mobile version presents a vertically stacked layout optimized for smaller screens. The large painting is centered at the top, followed by the title 'Under the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars' and exhibition details in centered text. The descriptive text about the artist and exhibition follows below, creating a single-column reading experience.

Cleon Peterson's website serves as a sophisticated digital portfolio and exhibition announcement platform for the Los Angeles-based contemporary artist. The site is designed to showcase his large-scale, graphic paintings that explore themes of power, submission, and primal struggle. It functions both as an archival space for his past projects and a promotional tool for upcoming international exhibitions, such as his solo show at Kaikai Kiki in Tokyo. The visual identity is unapologetically bold and high-contrast, mirroring the intensity of the artwork itself. Utilizing massive, high-contrast serif typography and a stark monochrome palette, the design creates a sense of monumental scale and gravity. The layout is minimalist and editorial, allowing the visceral, stylized compositions of the paintings to command absolute attention while maintaining a professional, gallery-grade aesthetic.
