The hand-signed complex, rich and expressive limited edition, “Shit Happens” is part of the artist’s newest collection Special Edition, and it suggest that life can be ill-fated and sometimes things don’t go perfectly but that is also part of life.

McQueen’s sensitive respect for vintage books has a stark and comical contrast to the bold and provocative titles that feature on the artwork. The artist complex application of paint elevates his art beyond the mere imitation of a nostalgic object towards an art that is rich and expressive, exploring themes of Pop art and abstraction.

The titles and sentiments are evocative, playful, and sometimes cynical, depicted through a process of layering the canvas with thickly applied expressive brush strokes, characteristic of Abstract Expressionism. The anonymous artist also incorporates drip painting into a number of his canvases alongside his classic vintage style with his characteristic signature monkey.

Bold 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.

"Books, like people, have personalities." - James McQueen

Hugely popular with collectors, the artist continues to break new ground through complex and contemporary artworks, making his pieces powerful statements in any setting.

This edition is a Silkscreen and Archival Pigment in Colour on Deckled Edge Somerset Satin 410gsm Paper floated on a frame with 3mm Float Glass.

This piece can also be purchased in the set of four alongside the rest of the collection.

Good quality
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Black
Loved the quality for the price. Fit is more for a size under what is listed. The pants are hip huggers not waist high.
