James McQueen | It Started With A Kiss | Unique

A masterclass in romantic irony, 'It Started With A Kiss' is a rare and evocative unique 1/1 original from James McQueen. This piece captures the fleeting spark of nostalgia, contrasted against the artist’s signature 'urban patina'—a meticulous, weathered texture achieved through weeks of hand-painting and sanding back layers of pigment.

While McQueen’s works are a celebrated staple of London’s luxury art market and the iconic displays in Harrods, this specific hand-finished original offers a softer, more atmospheric palette that resonates with collectors seeking both grit and sentiment. As a premier Art Gallery for Virginia Water, Wentworth, and Sunninghill, Creed Gallery is proud to present this standout 1/1 work. It serves as a perfect bridge between contemporary Pop Art and the timeless allure of vintage design, making it an essential acquisition for any high-end collection in the Home Counties.
