Artwork Description:
Growing Pains is a striking original work by Hijack, measuring 42" x 42", that captures a moment of vulnerability suspended within a rigid, graphic framework. At its centre, the artist’s faceless protagonist is curled tightly in on himself, knees drawn up and hands clutching his head, as though caught between resistance and retreat. The figure appears trapped within a grid of bold black lines and blocks of primary colour, evoking both the visual language of modernist abstraction and the constraining structures of contemporary life.
The contrast between the soft, painterly rendering of the body and the hard-edged geometry surrounding it creates a powerful tension. The sneakers, rendered with crisp detail and flashes of colour, ground the figure firmly in the present day, while the surrounding shapes feel impersonal and imposed. This collision of human fragility and formal order speaks to the emotional pressures of growing up in an overstimulated, relentlessly mediated world.
Los Angeles–based artist Hijack emerged anonymously on the streets of L.A., inserting stencilled works into the urban environment as quiet acts of disruption. Today, working across oil paint, spray paint and mixed media, he brings that same street-born immediacy into the studio. Growing Pains exemplifies his ability to fuse humour, poignancy and critique, using a universal, faceless figure to reflect our shared anxieties and the uneasy process of becoming.
