Non-Fiction | 2024

Offering the viewer two images in one, we see McQueen present some of his most-loved works in a completely new way.

His contemporary lenticular designs blend the old and the new, taking us on a nostalgic journey with an interactive element. Pairing his signature evocative quotes and recognisable monkey insignia, these artworks bring McQueen’s vintage book covers to life, capturing attention with their depth and movement. The shifting images and highly tactile design create a new sensory experience for the viewer.

Using a special lens to create the optical illusion, the lenticulars have been produced using the highest quality material. Each piece is individually digitally printed to ensure the best multi-frame effect which, combined with the special extruded lens material, guarantees the ultimate fine art lenticular.

In McQueen’s work we see signature motifs of pop and street art and much like the iconic artists of these movements, McQueen isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of people’s expectations of art.

He has purposely selected titles that subtly tell a story in these pieces, leaving room for the viewer to use their imagination and make their own connection. Weaving tales with his characteristic richly painted surfaces, the lenticular design allows McQueen to capture more than one thematic narrative in a single artwork.

Fascinated by his grandfather’s book collection as a child, he has long taken inspiration from those around him. With his candid, provocative and poignant words on modern life and love, he speaks a universal language that transcends generations, borders and culture; the relatability of McQueen’s phrases allows the viewer to reflect on their own personal stories.
