About this work
"Shut Up And Kiss Me - XL (Red) | 1/1" by James McQueen is an extra-large unique mixed-media work on fine art paper, produced in acrylic, spray paint, ink, and silkscreen. The red colourway — urgent, passionate, impossible to ignore — gives the title's confrontational warmth an additional charge, making this one of the most visually striking works in McQueen's XL unique series. At extra-large scale, the combination of silkscreen structure and hand-applied paint layers commands significant wall space, making it a natural centrepiece for any collection in which it appears. As a 1/1, it is unrepeatable and categorically distinct from any editioned version. James McQueen for sale through Guy Hepner at this level gives collectors access to some of the most ambitious and singular works in his practice. Guy Hepner is proud to present this major James McQueen work as part of its contemporary British art 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.
