"Panther" stalks out of "Future Past," James Acrow's solo exhibition at Fingerprint Gallery — a body of work that pulls comics, skate graphics, and tattoo flash into a forward-looking vocabulary. The big cat has lived on tattoo arms, jacket backs, and arcade marquees for half a century; Acrow knows the lineage by heart and pushes it somewhere new. Sleek, taut, and fully alive on the surface.
This is the original artwork that anchors the Panther Custom Stand Up Arcade — your chance to own the imagery that became one of the show's playable centrepieces. A working Vancouver artist with deep roots in the city's hip hop and graffiti era, Acrow signs every piece. One of one. Available now at Fingerprint Gallery.
