This is an extremely early Hijack (the progeny of famed street artist and Banksy collaborator; Mr. Brainwash ) silkscreen print.
These early Hijack prints have become extremely coveted. This specific work shows a young child in a hoodie with a spray can. The child has sprayed ”Dream with your eyes open” (using an anarchy symbol) in large print . The print is monochrome,
The letters a bright hue of red.
Both the colors of the print versus the letters and the size of the subject versus the letters are an excellent early example of the signature, playful juxtapositioning that we have seen so often in the artist’s work, throughout the years.
Another signature stylistic element is the use of children; a symbol of innocence or perhaps, innocence lost.
Perhaps Hijack’s most common signature, stylistic element is the overall positive message that his work(s) convey. While many other ”Urban artists” seem to dwell on the darker side of life, Hijack has chosen to use his art, fame as well as collector base to spread positivity wherever his exhibitions, street works and/ or prints and originals may be.
This is an absolutely stunning, seldom seen work. Hand signed by the artist as well as numbered from
The edition. The work features the artist’s fingerprint en verso, as well as the date.
The work has already been framed for the next owner; a contemporary styled dark wood frame with acid free matte board as well as anti UV museum / art glass rounds out the work. Cost of framing was close to $1200.
As soon as the work arrives it will be ready to hang.
SEE LAST PICTURE, THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE WORK AS IT HANGS AS I WRITE THIS.
The work is an excellent investment piece and a phenomenal example of Hijack’s early, most sought after works.
