About this work
"If You Ever Leave Me (Yellow) | 1/1" is the yellow variant of James McQueen's "If You Ever Leave Me" unique series, produced in mixed-media acrylic, spray paint, ink, and silkscreen on fine art paper. Yellow — the colour of caution, of clarity, of ambivalence — gives this version of the title phrase a tonal identity distinct from its orange and pink counterparts, creating a subtle but significant shift in emotional register. The 1/1 status of this work means it stands alone in McQueen's output: there are no other versions identical to this piece. The technical richness of its surface — layered print, hand-worked paint, ink, and spray — makes it a materially complex object that rewards close inspection. James McQueen for sale through Guy Hepner represents access to some of the most collectable British contemporary art available on the primary market today. 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.
