Alexander McQueen’s nephew brings art pop-up to Shoreditch

0

An immersive pop-up by renowned multidisciplinary artist Gary James McQueen – nephew and former collaborator of iconic fashion designer Alexander McQueen – is now open at The Stage, a landmark mixed-use development in the heart of Shoreditch.

The pop-up invites visitors into McQueen’s immersive, dreamlike world and showcases one of the artist’s major series:
Talisman Skulls, inspired by Tibetan beliefs. The artist transforms the skull, often a symbol of mortality, into one of luck, memory, and resilience. Four new versions of the Kintsugi skull will be on display for the first time prior to their release
later this year. Alongside these works, the gallery will feature works including
Savage Beauty, Eternal Bloom and Flayed Angel.

Visitors will be able to view new and exclusive lenticular artworks alongside best sellers from Gary James McQueen’s catalogue, each blending
digital craftsmanship with deeply personal narratives, exploring the beauty found within darkness and transformation.

“I am absolutely delighted to have this pop-up studio in Shoreditch, the epicentre of creativity and innovation,” says Gary James
McQueen. “Being surrounded by like-minded artists, tech pioneers, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs fuels my artistic vision and inspires me to continue to push boundaries.”
