James McQueen | If You Ever Leave Me (Orange) | HPM

A powerhouse of the contemporary British scene, James McQueen operates under a pseudonym that defines the London and New York art landscape. This 'Orange' iteration of his most iconic title, 'If You Ever Leave Me, I’m Coming With You,' is a rare HPM (Hand-Painted Multiple)—a category of work highly coveted by Harrods and Knightsbridge collectors for its unique, 1/1 surface variations.

While the foundation of the work is a silkscreen, the surface is an intensive labor of physical transformation. McQueen hand-works each HPM with heavy layers of acrylic and spray paint, meticulously sanding the piece to create a vibrant, 'lava-hued' patina that mimics the weathered grit of a vintage city-bound paperback. This process ensures that no two pieces are identical, offering the soul and texture of a unique original with the iconic silhouette of the Penguin Book aesthetic.

As a premier destination for McQueen’s work near London, Creed Gallery presents this Orange HPM as a high-energy statement piece. Its electric palette and 'grit-infused' finish mirror the prestige of New Bond Street’s luxury galleries, making it an essential focal point for a contemporary residence in London, Virginia Water, or the Wentworth Estate.
