Inspired by a Victorian image he once saw, Gary James McQueen created his ‘Flayed Angel’. Almost grotesque at first glance, the back of the angel is open, exposing a solid gold spine and ribs within, suggesting inner strength. The shape that is left on the angel’s back is reminiscent of the jacket of an old-fashioned military uniform. The ‘Flayed Angel’ is an image that the artist finds himself returning to, most recently recreating it as a three-dimensional statue to be viewed in virtual reality. A master of the craft, Gary James McQueen’s expertise in creating lenticulars is unparalleled. He creates his images specifically for the medium, considering every detail, ensuring that the lens and grain of each piece has been selected to best exhibit the image. His unique understanding of illustration and light combines with a knowledge of pioneering technology to create the sense of melancholic romance that is instilled in every lenticular he creates. Please note this artwork has a fulfilment time of six weeks. Find out more about Gary James McQueen art here.
