Nobody Gets Out Sober

Combining the worn aesthetic of vintage book covers with the raw, visceral energy of Jackson Pollock’s technique, ‘Nobody Gets Out Sober’ explores the frantic energy and emotional intensity of a night out.

Working predominantly in vibrant shades of pink, McQueen coats his canvas in Pollock-inspired splatters using expressive and dynamic brush strokes. Adding library stamps, a shopping list, and ring marks, the artist builds a story within his signature vintage book cover, allowing the viewer to make their own unique connection with the artwork.

Complete with the artist’s signature monkey insignia, this artwork embodies the moment on a night out where things begin to blur and the best memories are made.

Elusive artist James McQueen takes the universally recognisable image of a vintage book cover and transforms it into something provocative and poignant.

This artwork is a Mixed media limited edition on Somerset Satin 410gsm paper and it's also available in a set of two.
