*APC ART is proud to present Wes Lang’s “Become Tranquility” — an absolutely iconic and highly sought-after hand signed screenprint, executed on Pescia Magnani 300 g/m² paper and measuring 75 × 48 cm (29.5 × 18.9 inches). Hand signed and numbered in graphite pencil and produced in a strictly limited edition of only 50 impressions, this masterwork was printed by the renowned Lyon-based screen printer Olivier Bral, whose extraordinary technical precision and layered approach to ink application imbue the surface with exceptional depth, tonal richness, and museum-level refinement.*

*Wes Lang stands among the most culturally significant American artists of his generation — a figure who has redefined the visual language of contemporary memento mori through a uniquely Californian lens that fuses tattoo culture, Americana, devotional imagery, punk ethos, and art historical tradition. His work operates at the intersection of fine art and subculture, bridging the worlds of the studio, the street, fashion, and music. Lang’s long-standing collaborations with Virgil Abloh, Kanye West, and Fear of God, alongside major gallery exhibitions and institutional recognition, have firmly established him as one of the most influential voices in the post-2000 contemporary landscape.*

*Across his practice, the recurring presence of the skeletal figure functions not as a symbol of death alone, but as a meditation on transcendence, impermanence, and spiritual transformation. In “Become Tranquility,” this motif reaches one of its most poetic and contemplative expressions. The hooded skeletal figure sits alone in a small boat, suspended in a still and undefined space — a composition that evokes classical funerary imagery, the passage between worlds, and the search for inner stillness.*

*The accompanying text, “BECOME TRANQUILITY,” is not merely a title but a directive — a philosophical proposition that transforms the work into an object of meditation. The stark contrast between the raw immediacy of the black linework and the warmth of the paper ground creates a visual silence that is central to Lang’s most important works.*

*The printing of this edition by Olivier Bral is of particular importance. Bral’s atelier is internationally recognized for its uncompromising standards, and his ability to translate the physicality of an artist’s hand into the language of screenprint results here in a surface that retains the gesture, density, and atmospheric bleed of Lang’s original works on paper. The blacks sit with velvety authority against the sheet, while the subtle tonal variations within the figure reveal the technical mastery of the printmaking process.*

*Editions of this caliber and rarity almost never appear on the secondary market. With only 50 impressions produced, this is an exceptionally scarce and highly desirable work, making it a singular acquisition opportunity for serious collectors. As Lang’s market continues its rapid institutional and blue-chip expansion, this print stands among the most important and investment-grade editions he has released in recent years.*

*“Become Tranquility” encapsulates everything that defines Wes Lang’s most important imagery — mortality and serenity, solitude and transcendence, raw gesture and spiritual stillness. It is both visually iconic and conceptually profound, and stands as a cornerstone print within his graphic oeuvre.*

*The work is in hand in the United States and will ship immediately. APC ART is pleased to offer museum-quality archival framing and installation consultation to fully preserve and elevate this exceptional edition.*

*A rare, meditative, and historically important print from one of the defining artists of contemporary American culture — and an essential acquisition for any serious collection.*
