Why It Matters
The nine-color process and imposing 47 x 37.5-inch scale make this one of Hijack's more ambitious and visually striking editions. The hand-torn deckle edges and verso thumbprint add craft and a personal authentication touch that distinguish it within his catalog.
Collector Perspective
Large format and a multi-color print process give this strong wall presence and collector appeal. The signed, numbered edition of 92 with a thumbprint on the back offers buyers a built-in provenance marker, while the size makes it a statement piece rather than an intimate work.
Historical Context
Released in 2017, "Bubble Gum Girl" reflects Hijack's engagement with childhood and pop-innocence imagery, a recurring vein in his work. The thumbprint authentication echoes the personal-signature traditions of street artists asserting their identity within a commercial print market.
