The King of Cool

Description: 4ft x 4ft (122 × 122 cm)
Original Decollage on Cradled Wood Panel (7.5 cm)

Created using appropriated street posters, film posters, spray paint, marker and halftone portrait work.
The surface has been worked again and again, layered, ripped back, repainted, and worn in. It’s made to feel real, not polished.

McQueen didn’t need to try hard. He didn’t perform cool, he was it.
Calm. Direct. In control.
That’s the energy in this piece. Nothing flashy. Nothing loud. Just presence.

Look closely and you’ll see hints of his roles, life, and the attitude that made him iconic. Some details are upfront. Others sit in the layers and show themselves over time.

This work isn’t just about nostalgia.
It’s about confidence without needing permission.
