Artist Profile
Nick Runge
Limited Edition Movie Posters & Art Prints
Nicholas Runge is a Los Angeles-based artist who has established himself as a sought-after creator in the alternative movie poster scene. Working closely with Hero Complex Gallery, Runge has built a reputation for his screen print work that spans both classic and contemporary cinema. His collaborative approach extends beyond traditional poster art, having partnered with comic artist Zach Howard to combine fine art with comic book aesthetics through the Nick Runge Limited imprint.
Runge's visual approach seamlessly blends nostalgic elements with modern design sensibilities, creating pieces that resonate with both vintage film enthusiasts and contemporary collectors. His portfolio includes striking interpretations of beloved properties like Ghostbusters, released as a 24x36 limited edition print through Hero Complex Gallery, and The Batman, produced as an ultra-exclusive 36x24 screen print. Beyond cinema, Runge has ventured into music-inspired art with his 12x12 interpretation of The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover, demonstrating his versatility across pop culture touchstones.
Collectors prize Runge's work for its extreme scarcity and meticulous craftsmanship. His edition sizes reflect a commitment to exclusivity, with releases like The Batman limited to just 55 prints worldwide. This deliberate scarcity, combined with his technical skill in screen printing and ability to capture the essence of iconic properties, has made his releases highly coveted in the alternative poster market. Runge's prints consistently sell out quickly, establishing him as an artist whose work appreciates rapidly among serious collectors.
