The artist complex application of paint elevates his art beyond the mere imitation of a nostalgic object towards an art that is rich and expressive, exploring themes of Pop art and abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe titles and sentiments are evocative, playful, and sometimes cynical, depicted through a process of layering the canvas with thickly applied expressive brush strokes, characteristic of Abstract Expressionism. The anonymous artist also incorporates drip painting into a number of his canvases alongside his classic vintage style with his characteristic signature monkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBold colours reflect the satirical quotes throughout the collection, subverting the vintage aesthetic of historical books. The poignant quotes thus complete these bold modern artworks also replete with contemporary art influences, from Rothko to Tracey Emin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Books, like people, have personalities.\" - James McQueen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugely popular with collectors, the artist continues to break new ground through complex and contemporary artworks, making his pieces powerful statements in any setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis portfolio includes: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/products\/james-mcqueen-shit-happens\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShit Happens \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/products\/james-mcqueen-oh-bollocks\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOh Bollocks \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/products\/james-mcqueen-protect-me-from-what-i-want\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtect me From What I Want \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/products\/james-mcqueen-it-started-with-a-kiss\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt Started with a Kiss\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artworks included are Silkscreen and Archival Pigment in Colour on Deckled Edge Somerset Satin 410gsm Paper floated on a frame with 3mm Float Glass.
