James McQueen | Shit Happens

James McQueen
Shit Happens (2024)
Limited edition

Shit Happens is one of the oldest and most philosophically precise pieces of vernacular wisdom — the acknowledgment that bad things occur without cause, without justice, and without the possibility of adequate response. McQueen's 2024 version brings his layered, lacquered technique to this observation with the formal authority of his Penguin book cover aesthetic: the phrase that has always been on bumper stickers and T-shirts given the weight of a literary classic. The 2024 date marks this as his most recent engagement with one of his defining titles.

Creed Gallery is among the leading UK galleries for James McQueen's secondary market. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot — serving collectors in Virginia Water, Wentworth, Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
