About this work
James McQueen's "If You Ever Leave Me (Pink) | 1/1" is a unique mixed-media work on fine art paper, the pink variant within this emotionally charged series. Pink, as a colour with complex cultural and psychological associations, gives this iteration of the "If You Ever Leave Me" theme a particular resonance — both tender and pointed, romantic and unsettling. The work is produced in McQueen's signature combination of acrylic, spray paint, ink, and silkscreen, building a surface that rewards sustained attention through its material layering and chromatic precision. As a 1/1, it exists outside any edition, making it a wholly singular work in the artist's output. Collectors seeking James McQueen for sale at the unique works level will find this piece an exceptional example of his practice at its most resolved and personally inflected. Guy Hepner is pleased to present this work as part of its James McQueen programme. Available for sale at Guy Hepner Gallery, New York.

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.
