Rampage
Summary
Rampage is a 2007 hand-finished Faile screen print, 25 x 32 inches, from an edition of 15. Its title evokes the action-and-violence energy of pulp and comic sources, aligning it with the studio's fascination with dynamic, aggressive imagery drawn from vintage adventure material.
Why It Matters
Action-driven titles like Rampage capture the kinetic side of Faile's collage practice, contrasting with its romance and devotional strands. As a hand-finished 2007 work in an edition of 15, it balances scarcity with a format large enough to make its energetic composition read boldly on the wall.
Collector Perspective
At an edition of 15 and a sizable 25 x 32 inches, Rampage offers presence and relative scarcity. As a hand-finished work, expect example-to-example variation, so inspect the applied surface. Confirm the 2007 dating and Faile's markings, and evaluate condition across the larger sheet, where margins and corners deserve attention.
Historical Context
Faile's pulp and comic sources supplied a steady stream of action imagery, and Rampage channels that lineage. Produced in 2007 during the studio's earlier editions period, it reflects the duo's habit of pairing punchy, exclamatory titles with collage compositions built from vintage adventure and exploitation graphics.

Collecting Faile at Gauntlet Gallery
Which FAILE works are best to collect?
FAILE's signed, numbered silkscreen editions and their hand-finished wood and mixed-media pieces are the core of the market. Screenprints from their studio releases offer an accessible entry, while unique wooden "blocks" and painted works sit at the higher end. Gauntlet Gallery focuses on complete, well-preserved impressions with strong color registration.
How is a FAILE piece authenticated?
We sell FAILE works with documented studio provenance, backed by the edition's signature and numbering. Every piece is photographed as-is, including the signature, edition number, and any studio markings, so you can confirm details before purchase.
What makes one FAILE piece worth more?
Edition size, medium (unique wood pieces over open prints), iconic imagery, condition, and provenance from a known release all drive value. Hand-embellished and one-of-a-kind works consistently outperform standard editioned prints.
