About this work
James McQueen's "Shut Up And Kiss Me - XL (Red) | 1/1 (variant)" is a unique mixed-media work on fine art paper — a variant of the XL Red unique piece that differs in specific dimensions of its surface, composition, or material treatment. In McQueen's practice, the variant designation signals that while the piece shares its title, scale, and dominant colourway with the primary 1/1, it is itself entirely singular, the result of a different set of material decisions made during its production. This work belongs to the category of pieces that make McQueen's practice particularly rewarding for serious collectors: the same conceptual territory is explored through different physical realisations, and no two are truly equivalent. James McQueen prints and unique works for sale at Guy Hepner are presented with full provenance, ensuring collectors understand the precise position of each work within his output. 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.
