Work Summary & Collector Notes
Reveal Your True Nature is a 2023 screen print in an edition of 50, sized 22.5 x 30 inches. The title carries the double meaning Hijack favors, inviting the viewer to read identity and pretense into the image. Alongside the main run are 5 artist proofs and a small framed canvas edition of 5.

Why It Matters
The piece exemplifies Hijack's text-forward approach, where a short phrase reframes the entire image. The addition of a framed canvas edition signals the artist offering a more finished, gallery-ready object beyond the paper print, broadening how a single title reaches collectors.
Collector Perspective
With only 50 in the main edition, plus 5 APs and 5 framed canvases, supply across all formats is tight. The framed canvas tier appeals to buyers wanting a display-ready piece, while paper collectors will focus on the numbered 50 and the scarcer AP run.
Historical Context
Dated 2023, this print belongs to Hijack's mature period, when he leaned into aphoristic titles and multi-format releases. The screen-print medium ties it to the stencil and silkscreen lineage of British street art from which he emerged.
