"Zoar" is one of the anchor works in "Future Past," James Acrow's solo exhibition at Fingerprint Gallery. Where his smaller paintings function like singles, "Zoar" reads like a long-form piece — denser, more layered, the kind of work that rewards living with it. It draws from the same wellsprings as the rest of the show — comics, vintage arcades, skate graphics, graffiti, tattoo culture — but stretches them across a bigger compositional canvas and a richer palette.
Acrow built his name in Vancouver's early hip hop and graffiti era before a long tattooing career; this is the kind of painting that signals where his practice is going next. A statement piece for a serious collector. One of one. Signed by the artist. Available now at Fingerprint Gallery.
