It’s true; NFTs are all the rage right now. The artist known as Cleon Peterson is back, and he returns to tease his upcoming NFT release, So It Goes. So It Goes serves as the Los Angeles-based artist’s second NFT collection, exploring man’s desire for power and destruction. The release features drawings open to the public, as well as two collector drawings, an edition of 25 for any previous owners of Peterson’s NFTs, and a drawing of three editions for those who own all three editioned pieces.
Peterson’s minimal yet bold aesthetics speak on the corruption that has plagued society. The artist released a statement, noting: “These NFTs, shocking at first but eerily ordinary as they repeat, elicit truths that we are all implicated in but would like to deny.” The statement further adds, “In the end, one tries to ascribe meaning to tragedy. Living with the idea that good should always prevail, it is somehow against nature itself if bad happens. But as we experience the modern world, it’s undeniable that absurdity is at the root of everything, and the best we can do is understand that nothing makes sense, thus “So It Goes.”
The new NFT collection was created to reward his past collectors uniquely. For instance, to bid on Eclipse (Black), one must own at least one of Peterson’s NFTs. Eclipse (Red) requires owning all three (3) of his editioned NFTs. Check out a few images and find out more about the collection from Nifty Gateway right now. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more art and NFT news coming soon.
