James McQueen Shit Happens | 1/1 For Sale

Edition

1/1

A unique work — designated 1/1 — Shit Happens combines acrylic, spray paint, ink, and silkscreen on fine art paper in a composition that exemplifies McQueen's irreverent wit and technical range. At 66 × 99 cm, the piece brings together the gestural energy of spray paint and ink with the graphic discipline of silkscreen, the various media working in productive tension across the surface. The title, characteristic of McQueen's dry humour, situates the work within a tradition of artist statements that use comedy as critical vehicle. As a unique work, it occupies a distinct position in McQueen's practice — a singular object that records a particular moment of making.
