Pandemonium
Summary
"Pandemonium" is a 2020 screen print released as a classic edition of 100 at 22 x 22 inches. The square-format work and its chaos-evoking title situate it within Hijack's 2020 releases responding to a period of widespread disorder.
Why It Matters
With a full classic edition of 100 in the compact 22 x 22 format, "Pandemonium" is one of Hijack's more available 2020 works. It appeals to collectors seeking an on-theme piece from that turbulent year without the constraints of his smaller runs.
Collector Perspective
The 22 x 22 square suits tighter framing and matches the format of "Canvas of Resistance" from the same year, making the two natural companions on a wall. The 100-count edition keeps this at the accessible end of Hijack's catalog, favoring buyers over rarity-focused collectors.
Historical Context
Released in 2020, the title "Pandemonium" reads against a year of pandemic and unrest. Hijack, the son of Mr. Brainwash, brings his father's crowd-pleasing street-art sensibility to bear on a moment of genuine upheaval.

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.
