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.
