Gauntlet Gallery — Hijack Print Index
Perfectly Imperfect
Summary
"Perfectly Imperfect" 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 together with "If Money Didn't Exist..." and "Be A Voice" as a text-based trio, each signed, numbered, and thumbprinted on the back.
Why It Matters
The print is one leg of a coordinated 2015 trio of aphoristic works, establishing the text-driven approach Hijack would continue into 2016. Its clean one-color format and verso thumbprint reflect his early edition style, with the 92-count run at his standard size.
Collector Perspective
Collectors often pursue all three works from this release as a set, since they were conceived and issued together. The uniform format and shared thumbprint authentication make them display cleanly as a group, though the 92-piece editions keep each at an accessible level.
Historical Context
Released in 2015, the trio reflects the rise of aphoristic, text-forward street art. Hijack, working in his father Mr. Brainwash's accessible idiom, uses spare typography to foreground the message over imagery.

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.
