Untold Stories 2025 | Framed Set of Five

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.”
