Be A Voice
Summary
"Be A Voice" is a 2015 one-color screen print on archival art paper at 22.5 x 30 inches in an edition of 92. It was released as part of a trio with "Perfectly Imperfect" and "If Money Didn't Exist...," each signed, numbered, and thumbprinted on the back.
Why It Matters
The print carries the most activist message of the 2015 trio, an exhortation toward speaking out that aligns with street art's protest heritage. Its clean one-color format and verso thumbprint place it firmly within Hijack's early text-driven practice.
Collector Perspective
Collectors typically seek all three trio works together, and "Be A Voice" supplies the group's call-to-action note. The uniform 92-count editions and shared thumbprint authentication make the set cohesive on the wall while keeping each piece accessible.
Historical Context
Released in 2015, "Be A Voice" reflects street art's activist lineage of urging public engagement. Hijack delivers the message in a spare single color, foregrounding the imperative over any decorative element.

About the Artist
Hijack is a Los Angeles-based street artist, the son of the French urban artist Blek le Rat, who is often credited as a pioneer of stencil graffiti and an influence on Banksy. Working primarily in stencil and mixed media, Hijack creates satirical, pop-culture-charged imagery that comments on consumerism, politics, and celebrity, frequently juxtaposing childhood innocence with adult themes. He has exhibited in galleries across the United States and internationally, and his editions and originals have attracted a growing collector base within the contemporary urban-art market.
Collecting Hijack at Gauntlet Gallery
How should I start collecting Hijack?
Signed, numbered editions are the natural entry point, with hand-embellished prints and original stencil-on-canvas works representing the higher tier. Look for bold, recognizable imagery and clean condition. Gauntlet Gallery selects pieces with complete signing and documented release history.
How is authenticity handled?
Hijack works are offered with documented studio provenance and the artist's signature and numbering. We photograph the specific piece you will receive, capturing the signature and edition details so you can verify before buying.
What drives Hijack's value?
Scarcity (edition size and unique works), subject matter, hand-embellishment, condition, and provenance tied to a documented release are the primary value drivers. Originals and low-numbered embellished prints command the strongest prices.
