About the Item

Silkscreen and Archival Pigment in Colour on Deckled Edge Somerset Satin 410gsm Paper floated on a frame with 3mm Float Glass 44 3/10 × 30 7/10 in 112.5 × 78 cm Edition of 195 hand-signed and numbered by the artist James McQueen, born in 1977, is a British contemporary artist recognized for his evocative paintings that reimagine vintage book covers, particularly those of Penguin Books. Operating under a pseudonym, McQueen chooses to remain anonymous, allowing his art to speak independently. His works are characterized by a deliberate portrayal of wear and tear, achieved through layering and sanding techniques that mimic the aged appearance of well-loved books. The incorporation of bold, often satirical titles and the recurring motif of a spray-painted monkey wearing a hat—his personal insignia—adds depth and a playful edge to his pieces. McQueen's art draws inspiration from Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism, echoing influences from artists like Andy Warhol and Mark Rothko.
