Hawxs.EXE by Vincent Langaard: Digital Disintegration in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Hawxs.EXE is a 2025 signed and numbered limited edition giclée print by Norwegian artist Vincent Langaard, produced in an edition of 30 and printed on Hahnemühle fine art paper. Measuring 34 x 32 inches, this print represents a visual onslaught of avian anatomy and technological glitch, merging Langaard’s signature collage chaos with themes of digital corruption and identity distortion. The composition is dominated by an army of hawks, falcons, and hybridized raptors spiraling across the surface in fractured motion, many of them multiplied, glitched, or duplicated into unreadable patterns. At the center, a prominent hawk figure is traced in neon pink, the only clearly defined presence in a storm of hyperreal feathers, digital noise, and synthetic color overlays. The artwork feels like a corrupted hard drive of wildlife photography, dissected and rewritten with code. Feathers stretch unnaturally. Wings replicate in stuttered loops. Beaks dissolve into data shards. All of it is suspended against a violently vibrant background of rainbow gradients, blue sky, and digital interference, where sharp realism collides with surreal artificiality. Embedded mathematical symbols, algebraic notations, and characters like *5F+1 float throughout the image, suggesting a system of encryption or conceptual logic behind the visual breakdown. This use of mathematical markup contributes to the theme of system overload, echoing the visual language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork through layering, repetition, and sensory attack.
Mutation, Pattern, and the Glitch as Subject
Hawxs.EXE functions as both a visual metaphor and a data stream. Langaard utilizes the hawk not just as a symbolic bird of prey but as a digital asset—duplicated, corrupted, and recompiled. The hawk’s role as a predator becomes more complex when viewed through the lens of system failure and identity distortion. This idea is reinforced through the use of pattern-based collage, where wings become abstract textures and animal forms disintegrate into ornamental chaos. The central hawk, outlined in neon, offers a flickering focus amid the wreckage, anchoring the viewer's gaze and framing the surrounding collapse. This tension between precision and collapse mirrors the energy of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Artists in this space often repurpose mass media imagery and glitch-based aesthetics to disrupt expectation and communicate urgency. In Langaard’s hands, the hawk becomes a victim and vector of the glitch—a once-majestic figure now looped endlessly, data-sliced and recoded until it transforms into both warning and visual spectacle.
Vincent Langaard’s Syntax of Digital Collapse
Vincent Langaard continues to refine a language that draws equally from pop surrealism, internet decay, wildlife illustration, and graffiti’s aggressive composition style. His imagery blurs the boundary between illustration and system feedback, using distortion not only as a stylistic tool but as a conceptual anchor. In Hawxs.EXE, the chaos is intentional. The overloaded composition mimics the sensation of screen burn, buffering, and processor lag—only it plays out through feathers, beaks, and sharpened talons. Langaard’s print invites the viewer to interpret the natural world through a synthetic interface, questioning what is real, what is preserved, and what is now permanently corrupted. This work amplifies his reputation for character-centric abstraction and digital decay. It does not simply present hawks—it reinvents them as carriers of visual memory and error. The decision to print on Hahnemühle fine art paper preserves the detail and color clarity of each corrupted fold and motion trail, further reinforcing the tension between fine art production and graffiti-informed aesthetics.
Hawxs.EXE as Collector Artifact and Aesthetic Warning
The limited edition of 30 positions Hawxs.EXE not just as an artwork, but as a rare fragment of Vincent Langaard’s ongoing exploration of collapse, code, and identity. Each print is a snapshot of the moment just before total digital breakdown—a preserved warning system, captured through layered imagery and emotional overload. With its scale, visual aggression, and detailed texture, this work encapsulates the spirit of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork while pushing it deeper into the conceptual architecture of post-digital narrative. Langaard’s hawks are not flying—they are falling, fracturing, and relaunching within a corrupted interface. Their transformation becomes an act of reflection on surveillance, data saturation, and the rewiring of visual systems. Through this collision of natural form and synthetic interruption, Hawxs.EXE announces itself as both a powerful collectible and a poetic artifact of future decay.
