About this work
James McQueen's "Shut Up And Kiss Me - XL (Pink) | 1/1" is an extra-large unique mixed-media work on fine art paper, produced in acrylic, spray paint, ink, and silkscreen. The XL designation signals that this piece operates at an elevated scale within McQueen's output, giving the title phrase and the work's visual elements additional physical authority. The pink colourway inflects the confrontational tenderness of the title with a particular warmth and directness. As a 1/1, the piece is entirely singular — no other work of this title exists at this scale and in this colourway. James McQueen for sale at the XL unique works level represents access to the most physically imposing and individually realised objects in his practice. Guy Hepner is pleased to present this exceptional James McQueen unique work to collectors seeking a major statement piece from a leading British contemporary artist. 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.
