Get the party started
Building a bar area in your home creates the perfect party space for you and your friends, and the art on your walls should build on the celebratory mood. Bold colours and evocative slogans make elusive artist James McQueen’s May 2025 Special Edition collection the ideal conversation starter within a bar space. Leaving no room for misinterpretation, the artworks are emblazoned with the artist’s distinctive hand-painted phrases, ‘Nobody Gets Out Sober’ and ‘We Love to Party’. Whether styled as a pair to frame a drinks cabinet, or hung individually over a charming drinks trolley, these artworks will leave no uncertainty about your dedication to the party.
Capturing the excitement, colour and movement of carefree celebration, McQueen has taken inspiration from Jackson Pollock’s signature drip technique in this collection. Exploring the frantic energy and emotional intensity of a night out (or in), the technique disrupts the structure of the piece in the same way a wild night disrupts the ordinary.
