Released as part of Gary James McQueen’s debut collection with Castle Fine Art, ‘Midas (Ivory)’ honours a form that is somewhat synonymous with the McQueen name – the skull.
A powerful emblem of storytelling for his uncle, the late, great fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen, the skull remains a timeless symbol of life’s beauty, fragility and transience.
He hand-sketches the artwork before digitally sculpting it into a 3D image. The ornate gilded details act as Gary James McQueen’s Midas touch – befitting of the mythical nature of his work and his passion for storytelling – a passion rooted in his childhood. As a teen, he and Lee would watch classic fantasy and arthouse horror films together, sketching ideas for their own characters, stories and places.
Available individually, or as part of a set of four.
