"My artwork has to have some form of emotion or a soul attached to it. I am a very theatrical person and so this is something very important to myself and also the life of the Brand".
Gary James McQueen

This artwork was created as the hero image for the BAFTA nominated "McQueen" Film 2019.
The piece comprises a physical sculpture made from resin completed with gold leaf finish, featuring a composition of flowers, birds & moths, which work in unison to form the skull's silhouette.
This iconic image has now been translated into the lenticular artwork shown here with the transition of flowers dying inside the gilded skull framework.
