Released as part of Gary James McQueen’s debut collection with Castle Fine Art, ‘Midas (Teal)’ honours a form that is somewhat synonymous with the McQueen name – the skull.
A powerful emblem of storytelling for his uncle, the late, great fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen, the skull remains a timeless symbol of life’s beauty, fragility and transience.
He hand-sketches the artwork before digitally sculpting it into a 3D image. The ornate gilded details act as Gary James McQueen’s Midas touch – befitting of the mythical nature of his work and his passion for storytelling – a passion rooted in his childhood. As a teen, he and Lee would watch classic fantasy and arthouse horror films together, sketching ideas for their own characters, stories and places.
The striking teal colour of this work was also developed out of a childhood memory for Gary James McQueen. He compares the colour to that of one of his favourite childhood toys – a vivid image of which has stayed with him throughout his life.
Available individually, or as part of a set of four.

THE FINER DETAILS
Hand-signed by the artist
The artwork is hand-signed by Gary James McQueen.
Silkscreen
Given Castle Fine Art's expertise as UK's leading art retailer, we are committed to the highest standards specially regarding printing. Believed to have originated as far back as 1000 years ago, silkscreen printing involves using a tightly-stretched mesh or screen. The first step is to mount the silkscreens over your chosen canvas, with a separate screen for each colour. Once the screens or stencils are in place, artists roll, press, sponge or squeegee their ink or paint over the silkscreens to leave a design.
Edition size and gold leaf
This artwork has a small edition size of only 95 artworks. Silkscreened on 410gsm Somerset Satin Paper, the artwork is adorned with gold leaf.
