Drawn from "Future Past," James Acrow's solo exhibition at Fingerprint Gallery, "Storm Demons" channels the lightning-strike mythology of old-school tattoo flash and skate graphics. Lines move with the looseness of a graffiti throw-up; colour hits with the saturation of a vintage arcade marquee. It's an image about energy that won't sit still — restless, electric, half spirit and half static.
Acrow built his name in Vancouver's early hip hop and graffiti era before a long career in tattooing, and that lineage runs through every mark here. A standalone original from the same visual world as Acrow's fully custom arcade cabinets — a way to bring a piece of the show home at a more accessible scale. One of one. Signed by the artist. Available now at Fingerprint Gallery.
