Harnessing the alluring magic of an old book and a powerful quote, this unframed portfolio of four bold and exciting limited edition artworks is by mysterious artist James McQueen. Included in this set are:

• Happiness Is Expensive
• Be Careful What You Wish For
• You Don't Know The Half Of It
• I Had Fun Once It Was Awful

The artist, whose anonymity allows viewers to truly appreciate the art for itself, draws from a powerful range of materials and influences to create his work. For example, he sands through layers of paint and even the threads of a canvas to create the unmistakable texture of a vintage book; evoked here through a meticulous ink and silkscreen process. Playful colours reflect the satirical quotes throughout the collection; subverting the vintage aesthetic of historical books. The poignant quotes thus complete these bold modern artworks also replete with contemporary art influences, from Rothko to Tracey Emin.
