The Wonderful World of James McQueen

Meet James McQueen.

"I have always been a lover of art. My Grandfather read and had a huge collection of penguin books, which I was fascinated by as a child. He would often read them to me but I was more interested in the way they looked.

Having a collection of more than 300 Penguin books myself, I just love everything about them. Recreating different versions of the old classics is a pleasure. The finished articles are destined to reflect the age of the books, using layers and layers of paint, which are then sanded down to create an amazing patina, and finished with lacquer.

My work is designed so that people can own affordable pieces of art to enjoy."

James can work to commissions so if you would like you own personal piece painted; size, colour and quote to perfectly fit you space do contact the Gallery.
