This piece is part of a larger series I call “The Future Will Be Hairy.” The series as a whole has more of an imaginative fantasy element to it, like Where the Wild Things Are or Beasts of the Southern Wild. Organic furry forms kind of flow through spaces like lurking signs of impending doom, and then sometimes cover the objects or environments that surround them. The stylized element kind of signifies embracing those ominous signs and taming them. I also use a lot of traditional American icons in my work, that’s why I chose to draw a buffalo here.

This RUN is signed, numbered and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Gage Hamilton and 1xRUN.

Gage Hamilton's imaginative stylings create unique fantastical landscapes touching on the nature of world through abstract organic forms and contemporary twists on traditional iconography.

Gage is also the founder and co-curator of the public art project Forest For The Trees in Portland, Oregon.
