About the Item

Hand of Ishmael is a striking original aquatint etching with Chine-collé by renowned American artist Tony Fitzpatrick (b. 1958). This richly detailed print showcases a vividly illustrated hand with red-painted nails, adorned with symbolic tattoos. Surrounding the central motif are layered design elements including birds, celestial bodies, eyes, and thorns, all emblematic of Fitzpatrick's signature visual language. The composition is bold and vibrant, with a dominant color palette of yellow, cobalt blue, crimson red, black, and white, drawing the viewer into a dreamlike narrative space. The work is signed, titled, and dated by the artist in pencil along the lower margin. Professionally presented in a custom archival frame, the outer dimensions measure 29.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches. The image itself measures 13.75 x 17.75 inches. About the Artist: Tony Fitzpatrick Born in 1958 and based in Chicago, Tony Fitzpatrick is a celebrated multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges fine art, poetry, and street culture. Deeply influenced by tattoo art, vintage comics, folk iconography, and the urban energy of Chicago, Fitzpatrick creates narrative-rich compositions filled with layered symbolism. In addition to his gallery and museum exhibitions, his artwork has graced album covers for musicians such as Steve Earle and The Neville Brothers. Fitzpatrick’s pieces are part of major permanent collections, including Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and National Museum of American History, Washington, D.C. This piece offers collectors a powerful example of Fitzpatrick’s ability to blend personal mythology with broader cultural symbolism.
