Anthology I | Unique
Mixed-media and silkscreen on paper
153.9 × 106.4 cm
About this work
A unique mixed-media and silkscreen work on paper, Anthology I presents McQueen's signature layered approach at monumental scale. At 153.9 × 106.4 cm, the composition combines screenprinted graphic elements with hand-applied mixed media, the surface built up and sanded back to reveal the strata of mark-making beneath. The unique designation distinguishes this work from the standard edition, making it a singular object in McQueen's oeuvre. The lacquered finish intensifies the chromatic depth, producing a surface that rewards close scrutiny and changes quality with shifting light.

About the Paintings Series
Original paintings, unique works, and strictly limited edition silkscreens by James McQueen. Each piece is produced through the artist's signature process — multiple layers of paint built up, sanded back, and sealed in lacquer — resulting in surfaces of unusual depth and chromatic intensity.
The Anthology works in this series are large-format silkscreens on paper, each measuring 153.9 × 106.4 cm, produced as either unique pieces or in editions of carefully controlled size. The canvas works — acrylic and mixed media, 101.6 × 152.4 cm — are original paintings, each singular.

About James McQueen
James McQueen Paintings for Sale | Guy Hepner, New York
James McQueen is a British artist born in 1977 whose paintings sit at the intersection of Pop sensibility, material obsession, and dry British wit. He works under a pseudonym, and his identity is secondary to the work — which is the point. What matters is what ends up on the canvas.
McQueen's paintings are built, not simply applied. He works in layers — paint over paint, colour over colour — then sands the surface back to expose what lies beneath, then seals it in lacquer. The result is a depth that photographs struggle to capture. These are surfaces you need to stand in front of.
His subject matter has ranged from reinterpreted Penguin paperback covers to politically charged commentary to the large-scale mixed-media Anthology works now available through Guy Hepner. Across all of it runs a consistent preoccupation: the visual language of mass culture, rendered monumental and unfamiliar by the seriousness of the craft brought to bear on it.
McQueen has shown extensively in London and is represented in significant private collections internationally.
