Hand-signed Mixed Media Limited Edition Artwork Set by James McQueen.
In his new 2025 Untold Stories collection, James McQueen rewrites the narrative, reclaims the margins, and strips away what doesn’t belong. Exploring what remains when we take control of the final draft and reject the expected, the storytelling is on the artist’s terms. Cool, unapologetic, and fiercely self-authored, each piece plays on cultural tropes, the raw truth of reality, and the fantasy of freedom, giving voice to boundaries that often go unspoken.
Presenting a bold collection of titles, some never seen before, in this size for the first time, McQueen carefully crafts the design to complement each phrase. The artist’s affection for classic paperbacks resonates through the collection. intertwined with familiar motifs from contemporary art. This, alongside the storytelling titles, allows McQueen to weave narratives through his characteristic colours and richly layered surfaces
From Damien Hirst’s clinical dots to Jackson Pollock’s chaotic gestures, each piece transforms a familiar aesthetic into a statement of resistance, self-definition or sharp humour.
“I want to celebrate books as treasured objects and the deep affection we have with them. I want the viewer to create their own stories and make their own unique connections to each title.”
The artworks are hand-signed mixed media limited editions on Somerset Satin 410gsm Paper by James McQueen. This set includes:
'My Name Is Not Alice And We Are Not In Fucking Wonderland'

THE FINER DETAILS
Hand-signed by the artist
The artwork is hand-signed by James McQueen.
Boutique edition
This artwork is a boutique edition, which means the edition size is smaller than normal, with only 95 pieces.
The making of the originals
When creating the original works, McQueen applies layers of paint in varying colours and shades to his canvas. Once this is dry, he removes paint using a sander, revealing the layers of colour beneath to add dimension to his photorealistic book covers. Finally, he seals each piece with a lacquer finish, enhancing its richness and vibrancy, while echoing the glossy sheen of a classic vintage novel. These tactile details are faithfully translated into the raw textures and finishes of these hand-singed limited editions.
The artist
James McQueen
You should never judge a book by its cover, and McQueen is keeping his firmly under wraps. The elusive artist, who operates under a name as fictitious as the titles he paints, has so far launched one collection of his book-themed Anthology works, three collections of his Non-Fiction works with Castle Fine Art and, the most recent Special Edition collection. They proved to be a page-turner with our collectors, and McQueen's limited edition captivating works are extraordinarily popular and in incredibly high demand - with the Non-Fiction collection selling out in just hours!
